Just out of interest how much weight does SCOs complaints outside the US?
As they seem to be charging everyone in US dollars, or is the SCO to arrigant (like most US companies) to consider anything outside the US to be of any importance?

Look mate, $199 USD roughly comes up to 100 schooners for Guiness. Maybe you should consider paying SCO in schooners of Guiness instead of USD? And of course they're arrogant - most US based businesses can't be bothered to figure out the monetary conversion of other countries and they're generally of the mindset that there ain't nothing outside of the US except for trinkets and beads and 15 foot stone wheels used for money...(all this coming from an ex-yank living in Oz, ay?)
Else, if you don't want to give SCO USD or Guiness, you can charge for
body fluids. Body fluids are rather expensive; you can drain the contents of your stomach into a zip-lock bag and send that to'em - it's
obviously worthwhile to a scientist or biologist somewhere - there would
be enough value placed on it with them - so why not with SCO?
That's at least another option - so now you have USD, Guiness, or a bag of puke. Which is the easiest for you to come up with?
