I still order from the US. Get a friend in the states and get it shipped to him and shipped over. It just makes things more difficult.
The nice thing about living in Europe is that the dollar is extremly weak at the moment and is not going to recover soon. On a differnt note, on other forums you can see how Americans are complaining about prices in Euros. Count yourselves lucky that you live in a country that has a strong economy. BTW: You can order a car in the US. Getting a 1/2 shipping container (which will fit a car) from New Jersy to Rotterdam costs about 700. Getting the car to meet European sound and emission standars is another 1000 ... you can buy a pretty cheap Audi/Merc/BMW/Volvo/etc. that way and lots of people are doing that. Linking prices prices to consumer markets is very hard for a supplier to jusify. I have friends in the US doing "regular" desk jobs who earn a lot more that surgeons in Switzerland. Another arugment would be the Big Mac Index http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big-Mac-Index It is very unwise to try and explain to a consumer, with todays globalisation, why he has to pay 50% more in Europe for an electronic item produced in China after tax. It is much easier to explain why a Big Mac is cheaper.. If Logitech had consumed Slim completly I would probably switched to something else or just never updated my Slimserver. Logitech's support is OK for mice and such (Then again, what can go wrong?) but support for anything else is not really up to standard: Harmony.... (works for some, but not for others . go on .. have a google) I started of buying the slimp3 and realy enjoy the lever of support and innovation behind this product. I presume that when Logitech took over they made sure that Slimdevices would retain a certain amount of autonomy - this is a good thing. -- Sike ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sike's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2458 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43128
