That is interesting.  Not that it is going to have any 
effect me personally.  I could not afford their prices 
anyway.  What is interesting is that they can't afford their 
prices either.

I bet if you go back to them in a couple of months all their 
prices have doubled.

Comes a point where is becomes easier to rewind your own 
transformer than to come up with the cash to pay someone 
else to do it.
