It's all about what that > market will bear. the only time i've *ever* seen lower priced books here was wiley's textbook international editions published on what was basically single ply toilet paper. the words on one side of the page could be read from the other. and while i agree that it's basically what the market will bear, your analogy to indian pricing doesn't fit with my own experiences. s/w was *always* more expensive here, and the market here could certainly not bear those prices. 90% of the market here for the big ticket s/w is in the government & very large companies (which are practically governments) & these are places where "common sense" isn't the same kind of common sense that my mom & dad taught me. i think joel on software had a recent article on this sort of pricing, rubber ducks or something like that. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:193418 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
