Yeah ... and now they have the gall to jack up the price another $300. Considering what I typically make use of in a year, I could have gotten away with less than $2300US; I bought into it becomes it was convenient and "just in case". No more. What's with these people ? Have they forgotten what a "one man shop" means ? Do they care ?
