I get paid in Euro's, got them in my pocket right now. Nowt wrong with 'em. There is no law that says the Brits can't stick the Queen's head on the other side of the coins you know... The German Euros's still have the familiar "leaf" motif that was on the same denomination Pfennig coin. Ironically it'll make the rip off even clearer, since the Euro is close to parity, (.97ish) to the dollar, which means that $349 will translate to something like 360-370 Euro's, which isn't what Europeans will be paying for it I'm sure, it'll be a good 20-30% more than that, but a lot less than the 40-50% more than the Brits will end up paying for the privilege of of doing so in pounds. Personally I think I'll wait, both to see how much extra we're going to pay, and for the price to drop a little, and for the freestuff to build up. That way you lot can test it first, work out where the bugs are... :) later jb
