Then you should now love the prices of software produced in Australia and New Zealand.

1 U.S. dollar = 1.52975 Australian dollars

1 U.S. dollar = 1.67900 New Zealand dollars

Thats great...But are they able to be purchased here in the states? Or is there shipping involved?


And when you consider I've now lost over $100,000 the cost of anything is of no importance to me...:banghead: No matter how great a bargain it might be....

Of course there are shipping costs!
However, Australia Post have an extremely good registered air mail system which is far cheaper than the outragous costs of shipping from the US or EU.
IIRC, the fastest time from Melbourne in Australia to one of our clients in New York stands at 4 days from our local PO to the client signing for his shipment.
:d
PS: If that 100K hit was in capital that's very sad, if it was only 'on paper' then it wasn't actually 'real'.

And that of many more people who believed (or rather, were made to believe) they could live off the stock markets. Really very sad. I hope for your sake the shares will go up again, although it would be against the general interest globally.
