It appears that you are against anybody what does a better job of
offering goods in the marketplace than you do.  For your information,
Foxpro, a product that was acquired by Microsoft, had a retail price
of around $600 prior to the acquisition, and after that, it went
down to under $200.  I'd love to see you rationalize how this
constitutes "price gouging."  My suspicion is that you hate the
successful for being successful.
