$700? That's like €200? ;-)
Amazon has them discounted right now, but it is showing LIST prices of
$499 for the Drobo itself and $229 for the Droboshare
Or $728 combined. Sounds like $700 to me.
Looks like you can save $150 off of that if you get the current sale price. That is still almost $600. Not sure where your €200 comes from.
*sigh* It comes from the $/€ exchange rates. The US dollar is a weak currency compared to the euro. This means that importing is cheap for Europeans, but exporting is expensive. It was meant as a joke but you didn't "get" it. Must be a cultural thing. Sorry. Srsly.
I had no idea the Euro was that strong / dollar was that weak. Last I knew it was around $1.50 so I assumed you were being serious.
