That and the chinese manufacturers asking for money... ie: profit !!!!!

We only have ourselves to blame. North American business got greedy with wanting to make more money. How do you do that ????
Lower your costs. We went offshore to buy cheaper.
Its called capitalism.

Now these Chinese manufacturers have to buy their raw materials to make the products we want.
Where do they get those raw materials ??? A lot of it is from North America, but a lot is from other parts of the world.
And guess what. We keep raising our prices for the raw materials we sell.

Then... we taught their socialist economy all about capitalism.

We did it to ourselves............

BUT a 20% increase per unit, over night....... doesn't fly.

Not sure what is extra about the V.3 update, but it shouldn't apply to current models.
