Just a couple of peeves:
Why $19.95? Call it $20, you're not foolong anyone.
I know you can't accept all currencies, but could you at least quote a fee in £ and maybe Euro's?
Thanks,

Ok, I will add a link for each different currency. (And then the depressing exchange rate from dollars to pounds will be known by all. 🙁 )

A well made, well run site with a terrific little community? $20? Hang on, let me check behind the couch cushions.





(Actually, with the little Aussie dollar flying high I may just be able to resubscribe with loose change. You should start targeting the Aussie market Russ, that's where the real money is.)


P.s. That's also 6,000 moves up. And it only took me a year.

The exchange rate moved in the good dircetion for all europeans...

just to provide some historical data:

13Jan03: 14,95 USD = 9,34 GBP = 14,08 EUR = 25,54 AUD
12Jan04: 14,95 USD = 8,07 GBP = 11,66 EUR = 19,24 AUD

fazit: americans don't care (always same price and for the others it's getting cheaper... to the increase is not really much! 🙂 ) _all_ the others are happy, even the aussis... (-;

Russ can you answer genuie's questions?
thanks,

Not if the funds you recieve are in dollars - and you have to sell them to get pounds. It is something I could do well without.

Lets hope the pound slumps soon, and the US dollar climbs! (I bet there isn't many people in the UK saying that right now)

At the moment we have nothing in place for advance payment. But if you did want to do this, you could subscribe - and then I could credit your card you with the remaining time on your existing subscription afterwards.

If you do want to do this, let me know.

If you wanted to pay by check/cheque, then it is a little simpler, I could just update your subscribed date to be some time in the future (when your current subs runs out)

Maybe the $20 volunteers could get vertical wings too, 😀

For the equivalent of $20 (about £12) i can buy;

a cd (as long as it's not a double album)
a dvd with no extras
one new book
one weeks worth of lunches
entry to a soccer match (but only for the first half)
170 tins of beans from Lidl
or a year of entertaining chess and conversation.

I'm just off to think about it 😕

Rock on. The subscription is still well worth the cost.
I want to say something else. The subscription would still be worth $20 a year even without upgraded hardware. I don't mind how much faster or better the site gets, it's worth it.

Russ,

I hate to mention this becaus eit just reminds us of what a petty, litigious society were becoming... but if you quote in more than one currency how are you going to manage it? If you quote it to be $20, €25 and £15 what happens when the currencies shift? Could someone get upset because they pay their $20 but it turns out to be £15.21 because the exchange is different? Linking the quotes to the exchange rates or fixing a fee to each currency both have problems assosiated.

Glad to be back, sorry my first post is negative, and happy to pay $20,

Jon

Ah, but I said 'link' for a reason - I will link straight to yahoo finance which will provide the day's exchange rate.

Welcome back!
