Re: [TenTec] Inflation Calculator

CPI may be related to salaries over the long run but it sure hasn't  
been for the majority of folks who work for wages/salary in the last  
half dozen years at least.  I'm not saying that is a reason why TT's  
prices should be lower, it's just that $3100 is probably less  
affordable for the majority of working folks today than when TT was  
selling the Omni VI+.  This is not meant to be a political statement--
