Then the marketers released a slightly less flashy product (the technology was cheap) at reduced price to pick up the middle market and then now you get free ball points pens with a packet of floppies. :^O :^O

I make no judgments here but I thought it was a salutary story.

Same thing with lots of items of the "latest thing".

Hence the reason I very rearly buy audio CD or DVD movies from NZ retailers. I buy online from Canada. After exchange rate and postage they are still cheaper landed.

Here is NZ it a rip off market . Especially CDs which one month are $35 and 8 months later they are in the bargin bin for $20
