Eovia Announces Immediate Availability of Hexagon 2005-05-10 - By mykyl1966

That is exactly his point. If it costs $99 then we should be able to
buy it for $99 no more no less (not taking into account taxes etc as
has already been mentioned.). Here in the UK it is officially the
most expensive place in the world to live. Do our wages live up to
that. No where near it.
Thats why it gets annoying at times to once again have to pay more
than our US counterparts for exactly the same product. I tend to
agree with him and as has been said life is unfair but it doesnt
make it right...
