Good catch! ;-)

Indeed. But I did actually read it as 150 thousand. It must heave been the
combination of three zeros behind the comma and the $ that made my mind switch
automatically in US mode. ;-)

Confusing it is these differences. Well it could have been worse. At least they
use decimal numbers. They could have used that old mixture of sexagesimal and
duodecimal numbers...


Cheers, Michiel
