I did a quick lookup, apparently Quay Computers is in New Zealand.
$1US = $2.41NZ
47 x 2.41 = 113.27
Given the greater competition here in the US and greater shipping
charges getting memory to NZ, that sounds about right.
I just bought 1Gz Athlon,GeForce 2 GTS,256 RAM, and a 20GB HD for my
girlfriend for ~$350US...so there!
Apparently us Americans are not the only one's who think we are the
center of the world ;-)
