Apple store coming to Toronto

Oh baby, there goes my paycheque:

Apple Computer is taking its retail act north of the border.

The Mac maker confirmed to CNET News.com on Friday that it plans to open a store in Toronto in mid-2005.

Apple started notifying Canadian retailers of its plans earlier Friday, according to Mac enthusiast site Macosxrumors.com.

The company currently sells its gear at 450 independent retail locations in Canada. An Apple spokeswoman declined to comment on the company's Canadian retail plans beyond the Toronto location.
