He said the cheapest he could find them locally for was $2258 AUS and from me shipped was $1670 US - for 2 RD128's and USPS shipping.
The AUS dollar is $.94 US he said....

I should have not watched that.
I'm so pissed I could strangle a cat right now... (ok maybe not a cat)
What ticks me off the most I think is the fact that these dumb-ass's that are doing this crap wont even be here when all that takes place. It's our children that will have to deal with all the deficit.
Better edumacate your kidz so they can more to a different country. That's the only way they will be able to survive.

No kidding, I've been checking out Canada and down in Baja, MEX. I wonder if I could afford a Summer home in Canada and a Winter home in Baja.

Sounds like management and labor getting together to exploit labor for the benefit of management. The American Way.

This is a true statement for sure.
Problem is the schools (I'll bet most University's as well) are still teaching crap from the 80's..
So when the current generations graduate from High School their screwed before they get started.
Medical professions aside although even those are slacking as to education. Most ALL the training is on the job now, still need that little piece of very expensive paper to get that on the job training option offered to ya though.
Don't mind me I'm just pissed I didn't finish my radiology degree
Please keep in mind none of my thoughts are connected
You know SPence, I havent seen you around much but i always enjoy your simple way of putting things!

He really can't put them any other way, if you get my drift.

I think this really varies from school to school and from field to field. I felt my engineering school was very up to date regarding the latest and greatest... but then again it was our job to design the up and coming products. I don't feel cheated at all.
Now a history degree on the other hand... can't you just read that crap in a book and skip the homework assignments??

As a professed Europhile I've been watching the 5th enlargement of the European Union with much interest. The ascension of the significantly poorer former communist countries in Eastern Europe has been straining on the EU. Talk about how these countries weak economies will hurt the EU and how their cultures will dilute those of 'old Europe' is rampant. There is significant focus on how factories are moving from west to east and how 'offshoring' is hurting western European jobs. But at the end of the day, this has been the same story since they let in Spain and Portugal in 1986. The EU is getting new markets, increasing their labor pool and strengthening there economies. Look at the Euro! Even when weaker economies join the Eurozone, the Euro dips but then picks back up. All this is amazing on both an economic and social level.
Why then can't a North American version of the EU exist? The US and Canadian Dollars are in parity right now, admitting Mexico into some sort joint currency would only strengthen Mexico's economy, and that would be good for everyone (more money at home means less reason to go north). Some sort of regulatory commission to standardize infrastructure and labor standards across the continent would also be beneficial. How would you like to be able to go to Mexico and actually drink the water?
I'm not talking about unifying our governments (yet) but it only makes sense that as the world shrinks in relative terms that more and more regional cooperation should exist. It took Europe 50 years to get were they are now and I don't think anyone would say that they are worse off because of the EU. In 50 years time I would like to see the US, Canada and Mexico all in better positions. And like it or not, I think that the only way that is possible is through greater cooperation.

Considering I specialized in a field of history that more or less ended in the 80's...
Most of the classes I took at the U were teaching out of very current books and usually taking advantage of the latest research. I never felt like I was being taught from old material.
I wasn't taught from old material.
Don't blame the school system. Blame the students and those responsible for the students to be studious
also, I think in the long haul we are moving towards a global economy, and in the end everyone benefits. Like SRN said, it would be a long process, but I think in the end the greater good of the greater amount of people will be served.
