Oh yes indeed, try R11.20/$ -----Original Message----- From: Dean Cleaver [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 11 April 2002 21:35 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [DOTNET] Hailstorm is dead It becomes too expensive for anyone other than Americans because of exchange rates. $15,000USD = about $35,000NZD. That's about half my companies yearly income. WAY too much for me to ever think about. Even just look at MSDN for example. In the US, you get it for about $2700, less the $300 rebate if you order it on DVD. Now, from reading VBPJ in the past, I think the average developer wage over there was about $60,000USD - so you have to work for about 2 weeks to pay for MSDN. In NZ, MSDN is about $7700NZD (no - we don't get the rebates either) but the average wage is about the same in dollar terms - $60,000NZD. So we have to work about 7 weeks to pay for MSDN. Or 6 months to pay for MapPoint access... And I bet there are countries where the exchange rates make it far worse than my examples...
