Right. That was my REAL suggestion, but as you said it would take some
design and then management.

Only REAL way to prevent it then is to have 1 WORLD price. Until the WORLD
stops doing silly things like imposing heavy tarrifs on imports from
certain countries, or limiting imports, I suppose this is unrealistic. It
WILL come to this tho, very soon. The Internet has suddenly made this
world a MUCH SMALLER place. I have now sold portmasters to EVERY POPULATED
CONTINENT. THis would NEVER happen without the internet.
