Boy, is this guy ever eager to take offense where none was even
remotely implied! :-)

Terry was asking a *question* here, to determine whether or not the
individual making claims that SCSI was significantly higher-priced was
speaking from a US market perspective (where they're cheaper) or from
a foreign-market perspective, where things are invariably twice as
expensive (and I've lived in various foreign countries where I had to
buy hardware, so don't come back to me and say this is totally wrong,
OK? :-)
