And you think that a computer costs like in US or here?
In that case no one would have one and still, I guess that many don't.
They doesn't even make the money per year what you make per month
and many doesn't even have a sallary, the live on what they get in tip.
A "normal" Bulgarian make about $2,500 per year, think about that.
Perhaps this is news to you but I have been to Bulgaria and have seen how
it works and I think it's the same in China and Thailand but from different
conditions and if you should get abroad more you should see that it seldom
works like it does in USA.
As I said in a previous msg., we subsidize the prize in the 3:d world with
our high prize. How else would they ever have a chance to buy *anything*?
And remember that almost everything in this buisnes are MADE in those
countrys. They just sell it to us for a higher prize so they can afford to
buy it cheeper.
My friend bought a jacket in China, made in China, for $20 and this costs
here in Sweden just over $400 and it was *exactly* the same brand.
And who are making the profit? Well, it isn't the Chineese.

Sorry I got carried away and off topic for this echo but this is how it works
in the "real" world.
