Went to the Tektronix website today to try and get some info and list
prices, and clicked on the "Select Country" list to get local
comparative pricing. Hmm, almost every country listed, except
Australia (and New Zealand).
Perhaps I should move to one of the 11 other countries starting with
"A"?

Out of curiosity I tried www.tek.com.au - oops!, where do I begin with
the puns?

I know the Tekmark Group are the authorised distributor in Australia,
but they are also authorised for Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand who
ARE listed on the Tek site.

So why are me missing I wonder?

Dave.
