You think that's harsh...
I just got a maintenance quote for my xsi advanced, my current contract
expired in Feb of this year. Anyway they quoted me $2000 to cover me until
feb of next year. Does that sound steep to anyone else? What do you
americans pay for maintenance?
That's what I get for living in the third world.

Actually on my bill GST was added after the
conversion rate. Looks like they have different
rates for all counties - none of which convert
back to the base price of $395. Get a US address
and pay the advertised price :D
