Not so much odd as grossly unfair.  The developers price would be
lovely if it weren't for the nearly 1000 quid that you need to spend
on a week long training session, which almost makes it not worth
it, well, for students it DOES make it not worth it.
 
As far as I know, there are no laws in the Uk saying that NeXT can't
give equal discounts as they do at least in Switzerland, which is
something like 20%...I understand about shipping and insurance, but
it seems grossly unfair and unjustified to make UK residents, whom
WANT to spend money, pay 2.5% ABOVE retail cost....
 
Sigh.
