Hi Dirk,
Sorry, I forgot my smilies when I wrote this. I wasn't really getting at you,
more those economists that have stuffed up NZ's economy with dogma and pat
phrases like 'level playing field', 'freedom to choose'. Never having heard
of 'forced choice' or poverty. They use these phrases to justify never having
to think.
Anyway, my Amiga may be slow, I'd like to upgrade, but one can purchase a new
pc at some of the upgrade costs. :-(
But for an old machine it's still hanging in there. :-)
cheers,
jools
