£2000,- is a bad price for that device.

Re: £2,000 I wonder if it will sell?
2,000 or 2.000 - what ever decimal mark you use, its still TWO THOUSAND
£95x24 months = £2280 FYI A Billion: Short Scale used by Americans 1,000,000,000 Long Scale used By British 1,000,000,000,000 (Old school) Its no wonder I have problem with numbers :) |

"bi-", from Latin "twice", is a common word-forming element meaning "two, twice, double, doubly, once every two," etc. Hence "billion" = "doubly million". It can be argued that it could mean "two million" but it has been accepted to mean "million squared". Likewise, "trillion" means "million cubed", "quadrillion" = "million to the fourth", and so on. The Americans were too keen on big numbers and too impatient to earn a proper billion dollars so they invented a new meaning, to give them the illusion of being billionaires a bit earlier :D BTW, the correct word for "a thousand million" is milliard. I suspect not many Brits know that word either. Quote:

Re: £2,000 I wonder if it will sell?
This reminds me of the story
Once a man asked God: "Is it true that to you a million years is like a second? God replies: "Yes that is true." Then the man asks" Is it true that a million dollars is like a penny to you? God replies: "Yes, that is true." Then the man says: "Great! Since a million dollars is like a penny to you, could I have a million dollars?" God says: Sure! In a second..." |

Re: £2,000 I wonder if it will sell?
Can not imagine what kind of hilarious german dialect americans would be speaking if the "1795 - one more vote and america would have adopted german as official language" Conspiracy theory was true :D
Regarding "****** units" (sorry, its a lovely meme), i can only say that the oh so superior rest of the world is not any better until everyone adopts YYYY/MM/DD/HH:MM time format so everything sorts just fine everywhere and anytime And as i am OT already and only, have you seen this killer translator called DeepL by some germans (not google!!!). Try retranslating a translated text. Grammar is near perfect imho. Only idioms are still hard. This will be a milestone to breach the language gap <3 OnTopic, i realized i would not sell my precious even for 5000bucks. |

Well, I could say something about your election preferences, but a) it would be against the TMO rules and b) given our recent history, we Brits have really nothing on you in that respect :D |
