subject: Cheap RAM

PE> Before I was telling you to put your own money where your mouth
PE> is, instead of trying to involve me in your hair-brained
PE> schemes. Now I am still saying the same thing, except I have
PE> emperical evidence that you don't know how to make things. 

BL> I won't use *your* money if you'll give me a refund for *my* money
BL> you pissed against the wall on Collins subs.

If you didn't want Collins subs, you shouldn't have ordered them. I don't
want tariffs, I'm not ordering them.

BL> In fact tariffs do not cost money, they save money. Import-replacement

Oh crap, any old excuse so that we can pay higher prices for your crappy stuff.

BL> products create jobs, wealth, lower taxes, and technology that bleeds
BL> into things like the design of Collins subs (rather than buy the
BL> bloody design from Germany).

I thought we got the design from Sweden?

PE> I bet the end result is that we have as cheap R/C's as we can
PE> get by local manufacture.

BL> You lose.

BL> Pricing history is interesting, seen recently in TV... and RAM. 

ROFL!  You're admitting R/C's are like RAM and TV?  ROFL!  The price of RAM
has gone spiralling down for the last 50 years.  Now THAT's what I call a
decent system.  Not you continually jacking up tariffs.

BL> The prices of electronic equipment are easy to compare because the 
BL> retail price is fairly constant with inflation. A 1970 electronics 
BL> dollar is the same as a 1996 dollar (more or less). A 22" TV for
BL> instance has been $600 since 1975... except for the market variations
BL> I explained above.

Hey Bob, I actuall *bought* a TV in 1987.  The CHEAPEST 34cm CTV I could
find was for $449 and didn't have remote control.  The other day I saw
Coles selling 51cm CTV's with remote control and teletext for $449.  ROFL! 
And that's completely ignoring the value of $449 then compared to now. 
After 10 years of inflation!  POOR OLD BOB.  BFN.  Paul.
