im not a cambist, and i dont know if my math/economics is correct now or was correct then, but i DO know that ive been expecting to pay roughly 1000$USD all along, and now its 1100$USD.

i was also under the impression, before this, that the estimate of 700 EUR was for the board, not for the complete device. maybe i misunderstood at the time, but thats what i always thought it was.

with the USD=>EUR exchange rate having changed drastically upward {0.7 => 0.9}, i am less affected by the increase, which makes sense since the exchange rate change is the primary source of the problem.

unfortunately, CAD=>EUR did not change anywhere near as much, and in fact, CAD=>USD is currently 1.2, up from 1.1 from last year.

im sorry to say, endsormeans, that your loss is greater, and i deeply respect that youre continuing to support the project.
