No Sir, I do not mean this at all. I was surprised to see
in Japan that the cost of Japanese products was significantly
higher than the same product abroad. If that is representative
of the costs of doing business in Japan and(or) the costs of
distribution, then the price of IDL may be justified.
What I meant was that there is no point in forgetting civility
even if the price is not right for you. Regarding the $100 bear,
even though the price was not right for me there were a lot of
Japanese businessmen there who did not mind paying that amount.
It may be sir, that you should focus your energy on something positive.
Regards
ps. This is my last posting regarding this topic.

So, why don't you limit your argument to IDL and stop rambling
nonsense about $100 bear? You were simply ripped off by a bad
bar owner, I'm afraid. You can buy a can of American beer for
$1 or so. It may sounds expensive still, but alcohol is heavily
taxed in our country, which I think is good.

You mean RSI is an exceptionally bad company which is trying
to rip off Japanese customers and don't want me to generalize that?
If so, then I would agreee with you and apologize for generalizing.
Maybe RSI is not even a American company ;->

Its best to limit your discussion here to idl-pvwave. Last time
I was in Japan I was charged $100 for a beer in downtown Tokyo.
I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I think America is very
eager to sell Japan our products and just as Japan takes pride in
quality so do we. Maybe the sort of thinking that went into your
posting is part of the problem.
