A much better price for you guys who didn't want to pay the original cost.To call it "much" better is a clear overstatement, but OK, it's somewhat better. But not enough IMO. When it reaches $25-$30 I'll bite, but not before. I'm patient - I can wait a few years or more. Or it may never happen -- then I'll accept that and do without it.
Wow, some people are never happy! The next time your local Wal-Mart, has a sale, maybe you should picket it and complain about their obvious marketing ploy where they sell something for $X but when it doesn't sell, they lower their price to $X-1.
This is the capitalist marketplace, it happens all the time. Complaining about it seems a bit absurd, especially since Mike is probably doing it in response to the (vocal minority) here who complained about the higher price, and not because he's trying to implement some weird stepwise price reduction to bleed us all dry.
Honestly, complaining about what Mike does about ANYTHING is a bit like looking a gift horse in the mouth. He did so much for the A2 community before, during, and after Nibble's long run that, as far as I am concerned, he can do whatever he wants with whatever he has, and none of us have any right to whine about it. Think of the hours (days, weeks?!) of joy Nibble gave you! And now think about your whining! Feel silly? I would.
Note the cheap and all too common psychological trick Wal-mart uses when they set the price. Now it's not $90, it's $89.95 -- that's just a 5 cents difference, but it makes the first digit being an 8 rather than a 9. A gullible customer will then perceive the price difference as much larger than 5 cents.
I fixed your typos. Tim
