Absolutely!

Those who know what PCCG is will already know that ;)

Bonus for all foreign entities because our dollar is now basically used to wipe our arses with, when we go to the toilet.

That is how worthless it has become and no one has placed any sanctions upon us either, so it goes to show the true inferiority of this nation to the world  :thumb: .

The big question is whether it is now cheaper to buy either of these locally, or pay for shipping from OS (usually from US).

What price do Americans get the NT for? $150? That's almost 200 AUD. I believe I've seen it as low as $150 CAD before with a mail-in rebate, so getting it shipped from there is potentially cheaper than getting it locally.

I got mine locally at umart for $217.

PCCG is usually a fairly good average price indicator.  Good service, at least for the few things I've bought from there.

Best photos of produce available on their site so I always go there to see what something looks like and what's available to buy  8) .

Really! I never understood why the $AUS was always so low. IMHO, Australia's a terrific place with lots of friendly people, good beer, wide open spaces for you to wander around in for physical exercise, and of course kangaroos and wallabies [any of various small or medium-sized kangaroos, often brightly colored]. Plus, they call you "mate". What's not to like? Why should the dollars of great places like that be worth any less than the dollars of other places?

What's more, Australians seem to have just as many worthwhile things to type as anyone else—so I say they should have just as many opportunities to purchase quality keyboards as we with higher dollars do. I just wanted to go on record in that regard.

AUD and CAD are still more or less equivalent in value, right?

Oh Khryst, spewing coffee out of my nose when you said that........ NO the Australian Dollar is worthless to say the least.

The Canadian Dollar is more robust in value compared to our pathetic currency which should be used as toilet paper.

Not to burst your whingey bubble or anything, mate—but as we speak, $1 CDN = $1.03 AUS (http://themoneyconverter.com/CAD/AUD.aspx). ("The Australian Dollar is currently the fifth-most-traded currency in world foreign exchange markets.")

The other thing that occurred to me is that if you want either of these keyboards NAOW, you can order it from PCCG and get it in a couple of days, or order it from OS and wait 2 to 3 weeks.

You'll also be glad to know that most Australians now enjoy regular mail service, although it's occasionally interrupted by cricket matches.

But only Monday to Friday.  And not on public holidays.

And things don't get lost that often.

QFR-I seems to have sold out with no ETA on replacement stock.
