I don't have specific questions, but I'm pretty curious about the overall reasoning. We are used to products getting cheaper, not more expensive, after they have been on the marketplace for some time, and the Ben NanoNote was (due to its own nature) not a huge seller to begin with. I guess I just don't see what kind of benefit you are expecting to obtain, and I'll be glad if you could elaborate. > http://www.tuxbrain.com/en/content/we-are-fulminating-stock-cheap-cheap-aka-tuxbrains-reborn > (sad to see him go, EU sales will become more difficult now and > hopefully he will be back one day) I think it would be great, for transparency's sake, if TuxBrain showed the original price as well as the discounted one. Not that I don't trust David, I bought my NanoNote from him and if an Europe-based shop hadn't been available at the time I would have probably skipped it altogether due to the high cost of importing products from the US. > P.S.: Is anyone reading this?
