And lo on Thu, 15 May 2008 14:32:47 +0100, Invisible <voi### [at] dev null> did
spake, saying:
Heh I love it when you get ranty about the price of mission-critical stuff.
Here's a story I was told I forget the exact measurements and prices but
still -
A women approaches a company that make bespoke wooden doors for a new
front door. She can't buy an off-the-rack for £100 because they're two
inches too narrow, they quote her a price of £250. She blows her top
shouting "You're charging me £150 for those two extra inches" and storms
off never to return.
The moral, of course, is that she wasn't be charged an extra £150 she was
being charged £250 to have workmen create for her a uniquely sized door
from scratch.
