...but one can have the CD-ROM for a lousy $250 dollar-bucks American!

Hmm, $560. I guess it makes sense to start saving my cents. Which raises another qustion that has long intrigued me: Why do Americans refer to cents as pennies? It seems a quaint relic from the imperial currency system, given that both dollar and cent would appear to be derived from Spanish. BTW, may I say that I'm rather proud of "YARTist"?
