My oh.. my.. oh me! Seven and/or Eight Grand for the "privilege" of owning an Audya?!?!? And I thought 5 Grand was tipping the scale too much. Little did I know, eh?

Well, when you realize that Norway has one of the highest per capita Gross National Income's in the entire World, I reckon Ketron feels they can get away with shafting people more in Norway than they can with those in the U.S.A. huh? I guess they call that being "market savvy" eh?

My sincerest condolences goes out to all you rich people in Norway who have purchased this "seven/eight" thousand dollar unfinished beta tester keyboard. >> If Ketron has the audacity to charge this much for something "still" in the beta testing stage I'm not sure who I blame more - Ketron for the outrageous price gouging, or these innocent rich europeans who cough up cash so readily for something still in beta form??? I mean, if the Europeans are actually happy with their purchase then I suppose it's hard to blame them for being "happy" with the Audya right? So that means the blame lies squarely on Ketron for actually getting away with highway robbery I suppose.

If the world economy is in the tank you would think companies would tend to be a little more "compassionate" to people right?

Not so with Ketron apparently... [img]http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/biggrin.gif[/img]

All the best,
Mike
