Me... Hold off on buying astro toys... NAAAAH...

I'll be a bit more picky and choosie over what I buy and where from.. but in general, these things happen... How do you say "oh im not buying astro gear because the aussie dollar has fallen" When do you decide that the AUD has regained enough to justify starting to spend again? when it gets back to 90+c?? You might be in for a LOOONNNNNNGG wait.. and personally... I cant go 20 minutes with out buying at least something small to add to my ever growing box of astro-goodies... EQDIR + cables arrived today, yes I paid more for these items than most people have due to the dollar, but I wanted it, and I just didnt care... same with my K3CCDtools 3 registration.. a few people got it for $56~$65 when the dollar was good, I paid closer to $85.. But, I wanted it, and now I have it.. simple as that...
