- Mr Jacobsen,
-
- You're making it sound as if the grievance is that people are being
- ripped off by paying for something that doesn't work. This is simply
- not true. Something is indeed rotten in the state of Denmark...
-
- I don't know what your agenda is, but to equate the above hypothetical
- conversation with the SASG pricing policies is highly misleading. The
- above conversation should go something like:
-
- "Excuse me, my car starts, but the latest model starts so much easier,
- and runs a lot smoother, using less gasoline."
-
- 'True. We put a lot of development into the new model. For a fee, we
- can upgrade your older model to the latest rev.'
-
- "But I just bought the car!"
-
- 'Tough. Now you know why your model did cost less than the new model.
- You don't have to upgrade. It is only needed if you really want these
- new features. Your model is still a bargain for the price you paid.'
-
- Cordially,
-
- Henry Norman
