BF>And you think that a computer costs like in US or here? BF>In that case no one would have one and still, I guess that many don't. BF>They doesn't even make the money per year what you make per month BF>and many doesn't even have a sallary, the live on what they get in tip. BF>A "normal" Bulgarian make about $2,500 per year, think about that. BF>Perhaps this is news to you but I have been to Bulgaria and have seen how BF>it works and I think it's the same in China and Thailand but from different BF>conditions and if you should get abroad more you should see that it seldom BF>works like it does in USA. BF>As I said in a previous msg., we subsidize the prize in the 3:d world with BF>our high prize. How else would they ever have a chance to buy *anything*? BF>And remember that almost everything in this buisnes are MADE in those BF>countrys. They just sell it to us for a higher prize so they can afford to BF>buy it cheeper. BF>My friend bought a jacket in China, made in China, for $20 and this costs BF>here in Sweden just over $400 and it was *exactly* the same brand. BF>And who are making the profit? Well, it isn't the Chineese. BF>Sorry I got carried away and off topic for this echo but this is how it works BF>in the "real" world. No problem. My main thought is this: I can only wish that I could afford to go to China, Thailand, Bulgaria or even Norway. :-( Jay --- ž OLXWin 1.00a ž Why are there Interstate Highways in Hawaii??? * Origin: Try Our Web Based QWK: DOCSPLACE.ORG (1:123/140) .
