  Sheesh! It looks like Korea is making a real move into computers.
Did you Brenton's note about Samsung making RAM in Texas? In spite 
of Bill's opinion on VCRs I like Korean engineering. They're tough and
pragmatic.

  All Asian countries have the same problem; competing with China.
Korean TV can't compete, their VCRs are now selling against "Jap" VCRs
made offshore, and all that remains is the high end: computers in
competition with Taiwan, Singapore, and Malaysia. I'm waiting for the
big price collapse. Korea has genuine muscle.

  And the Chinese are moving a lot faster in electronics than I
thought they would... and a slower moving into cars. Interesting
times...

Regards,
Bob
