- I once asked the export people why machines cost so much more overseas and one
- of the reasons was "you get a warrantee" as opposed to going to the US and
- bringing one back in your luggage when presumably you don't. Do you get more
- than 90 days overseas? If not, this logic is loopy to say the least because US
- customers also (presumably) pay for the warrantee as part of the price. (And I
- am surprised in any case that a warrantee doesn't cross borders).
