According to the Band of Canada, the inflation between 1990 and 2005 was a total of $37.93% (2.17 per year over 15 years on average). Thus if it cost $500 back then, it should cost about $690 today. <http://www.bankofcanada.ca/en/rates/inflation_calc.html> -- * Johann Beda - contact link: <http://public.xdi.org/=j-beda> * * Johann's MostlyMac Computer Consulting - <http://mmcc.beda.ca/> * -- Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Mac Canada info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/mac-can.shtml> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:mac-canada@mail.maclaunch.com> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-canada%40mail.maclaunch.com/>
