I just checked exchange rates, which are:
Rate: Australian Dollar per 1 United States Dollar : 1.618647

So if an echoplex costs US$650, it would be AUS$1052, right? Is shipping
really going to cost you AUS$1948 ($1203)?  Somehow that seems a wee little
bit exaggerated. :-)  Or is there some sort of exhorbitant down-under tax?
Mel Gibson moved to LA and now you have to make up the difference from his
lost income taxes?
