Whoops, guess whose pants are on fire, AGAIN ? |-)

PE> P.S. WHAT A FUCKING SHAME WE DON'T HAVE LOCAL
PE> MANUFACTURE OF RAM TO KEEP THE FUCKING NIPS HONEST.

BL> Why has the price halved and is still falling? Wanna bet
BL> that someone else but the Japs is now manufacturing RAM?
BL> I'd be nearly willing to bet on Taiwan or Malaysia...

Poor old Bob, that pathetically feeble column of smoke fooled
absolutely no one at all. Talk about pathetically senile now.

PE> You mean international competition is as good as local competition?
PE> Oh deary me, so with 400 countries in the world, there's no need
PE> for us to panic and manufacture everything here after all, eh? BTW,
PE> in this case, you are correct, the RAM is coming from Taiwan.

BL> You're the one with the large message base... go back and check what I said

No need, we KNOW what you said about the need for *US* to manufacture
coz those slitty eyed Jap fiends were robbing us blind on purpose.

BL> I said that the Japs controlled the price of RAM as the sole
BL> manufacturer, and were overcharging. And they were, just as I said.

Liar liar pants on fire. And they WERENT, ram hasnt
been a Jap monopoly for a FUCKING long time ANYWAY.

BL> My argument was basically about large-screen TV, which the
BL> Japs also controlled through the picture tube manufacturer.

Pity some fuckwit with the initial BL proclaimed that *WE* had
to manufacture large screen TVs to keep those fiendish Japs
honest, and everyone else pointed out to you that it doesnt matter
a fuck who else does it and that there were a wealth of examples
where it was other SE Asian countrys which did, most obviously
with hard drives and the stuff Taiwan has done for fucking ages.

Make more smoke, we can see straight thru this pathetic effort Bob.

PE> So much for the need for local competition to
PE> "keep the bastards honest". Malaysia, Taiwan,
PE> America, Indonesia, China will do just fine thanks.

Thats what everyone told you Bob, poor old Bob.

BL> They'll do just fine *FOR* Malaysia, Taiwan,
BL> Indonesia... but what about Australia?

We dont manufacture hard drives, never have dont,
we get cheap hard drives anyway. Poor old Bob.

We have done a little manufacture of motherboards, it doesnt
matter a stuff if we do or not, we get cheap ones anyway.

We have never manufactured the mass market ram,
we are getting cheap ram anyway. Poor old Bob.

BL> What is the *real* price of 16Mb RAM? What could we make it for, here?

Soorree, not interested, makes no sense to do that here, there are
too many parasites like yourself who would demand tariff protection
etc etc etc. Fuck that, we'll by the SE Asian stuff thanks.

Rest of the pathetic smokescreen binned, fools absolutely no one at all.

PE> They do just fine on hard drives, they do just fine on RAM, they do
PE> just fine on TVs. Sorry if that doesn't fit your ideal view of Australia
PE> "Everyone should pay more for their TVs so that Bob can get rich".

BL> O ye of little knowledge... how much ye take on faith. Ignoarance is bliss.

And senility is stomach turning.
