The Euro at $1.55
Hatunen writes:
Problem for whom? Many financial organizations in Europe, and some EU governemnts, think the euro has risen too far, too fast. But the euro has not risen; the dollar has fallen. That's an important distinction. |

Alfred Molon writes:
And some US companies are charging in Europe for their products the dollar price in Euro. They must be thinking Europeans are stupid. They are partly correct. The British have been playing that game with pounds and euro for ages, and many of their consumers still seem to have no clue. |

I'm only half joking. That's the type of solution our leaders just might consider. -- --- DFM - http://www.deepfriedmars.com --- -- |

The Euro at $1.55
In article , Hatunen says...
Please name a few of these products. To make a couple of examples: 1. Initially Apple was charging its European customers the same amount in Euro it was charging US customers in dollars for song downloads. 2. The other day I was looking for an instant messenger software for the Palm Centro. Found QuickIM, which costs $30 to Americans and 30 Euro to Europeans. -- Alfred Molon http://www.molon.de - Photos of Asia, Africa and Europe |
