Occasional Observations

Trying to take advantage of the favorable Euro Vs US $ exchange rate, Amazon.de started offering US import CDs at a lower retail than the local market product. An interesting idea - which unfortunately failed to come to reality for the two CDs I ordered. After several weeks' delay I got an apologetic email explaining that the items were "harder to obtain than expected".

Ah well. Nice try.
