Given the way the US dollar has tanked of late, I would see this as a perfectly feasible and reasonable development. Back in the 909's, when our dollar sank below submarine depth (around 45c US, compared to the current 95c US, and more importantly, under 70 yen, compared to today's 100 yen), we got similar announcements from the manufacturers, and prices started to look more like telephone numbers. :( 73 de VK3JED http://vkradio.com
