Just as a data point, back in the early 90's I worked for a product company in the UK that sold QA software at �6,000 per seat. When we started selling it into the US market, we priced it at $9,000. The Americans were incensed!! They said it should be $6,000 "just like it is in the UK" (pardon??). So, just to point out that transatlantic pricing has *always* been a complicated issue with no good solutions - differences in tax and exchange rates make it a near intractable problem. -- Sean A Corfield -- http://www.corfield.org/ Team Fusebox -- http://www.fusebox.org/ Breeze Me! -- http://www.corfield.org/breezeme Got Gmail? -- I have 50, yes 50, invites to give away!
