- I don't want to make you jealous, and I definitely don't want to start a "I
- paid this much" net war, but I bought a brand new IQ-8200 (128K) for only
- $200. How? Well I just happened to be in Hong Kong...
-
- Hey, it came with English manuals and a warrantee valid world wide, so how
- could I pass it up? Me thinks that U.S. retailers are raping the consumer.
- Well, to be fair, it could be due to import/export tarriffs. In any event,
- somebody is making big dollars off these machines.
