Based on the fact that the same amount of US$ today buys less than it did
yesterday naturally in order to cover the cost of keeping his business open
he would have to raise his prices. So Kim I totally agree with your decision
to move your prices if it is necessary to keep your doors open.
Imagine if he were Euro based? Then all in America would be crying foul!

True, but I have had not renew subscriptions for many euro based components
because the exchange rates are killing me. Guess it makes American
components more attractive now.

first place, the value of the USD wouldn't have dropped at all :-) Put very
simply, of course.
 

True, but America's problems go way beyong the quality of their products.

their prices significantly to the American market.
If there is an American component vendor in the competition, the
American developers will probably buy the home team (example would be
ElevateDB to NexusDB or DevExpress to TMS).
Any how, each business has to decide what works for them.

Nope!!! People are apparently just using deficient news clients. Or
don't know how to configure them correctly.

Shane,
in a glass-half-empty fashion ("i'm not getting as much cash out of my
European customers as i could"), why not think of it this way:
the low US$ makes your product pricing a lot more attractive to non-US
customers. why not see that as an opportunity to have *more* users get
your product, while the price is low? The beauty of our market - opposed
to, say, goods that are physically manufactures - is that if you sell
twice the number, at half the price, you revenue is still (roughly) the
same.

Quite right! I (in the UK) personally have bought [non development]
software from the US that I probably wouldn't have a few years ago but the
$/GBP rate makes it worth a go to see how good it was, whereas at a higher
price (to me) I wouldn't have bothered.
I have also purchased items in the US that I can get in the UK but the
exchange rate means it is cheaper for me to buy in the US and have it
shipped either direct or via my sister (who lives in the US). These sales
would not have happened if the exchange rate was not what it was.
Of course, when my sister visits here at the moment, the rate kills her!

I was about to ditch DevEx's VCL Annual Subscription (due EOM) but is now
becoming more affordable all the time. On par with AU$.
