Re: NEED PRICE

Ok, now...

checkout the UK price!!!

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Microsoft-W...UTF8&s=software

That’s £369

or

$726

Do us UK peeps just earn too much money!!!!

In UK the average take home pay is about £1000, so £369 is quote a bit.

That’s my 2 pence.

Holy sh** when I left 'ome in 69 I was making 10/s an hour, £20 per week.
And working twice as hard as you young'ns do now, and had to walk to work
uphill both ways etc. etc.

it, just like me

Back then cigs were .25 US a pack, oil was 6 US dollars a barrel ...
