[OT]
I have always lived in town, and people from the other side of the Atlantic don't even have an idea of how great European middle-sized towns can be... Often with medieval centers (where i live the center is from the 13th century), they often look (and feel) great, and people *walk* ... The only town in the US that remotely approaches that is New York. (for the feeling and people)
[/OT]

As for prices yeah we're being raped in EU, not only for vid cards, believe me. And in France we have a sales tax (=VAT) of about 20%... Heard it was more in Sweden though.
