BL> ROFL! Does this mean you admit I was right?

Dunno, I thought you were specifically discussing the electronics side of
these companies.  Mitsubishi also makes supertankers, trains, planes, cars,
etc., but I don't take that into consideration when comparing them with
other companies who only manufacture electronics.

BL> Actually, I'm not sure which is the bigger in electronics. Goldstar
BL> is pretty big. Their sales division is called Lucky Goldstar (just
BL> thought I'd throw that in).

There was an article in the paper within the last few months, which gave
hard figures relating to the Korean "new boys on the block", and
I'm almost certain that Samsung's net worth was the highest (and by quite a
bit too).

BG> True, Goldstar and Samsung are the two Korean biggies.

BL> You're right about that, though, in electronics.

I know.  :)
