Bob Your comment>> According to brand-name surveys, Zenith remains one of the most highly respected brands in the world, regardless of what the techies in California perceive. They've been too busy drinking their lattes, driving their Beemers, and looking at the world through their designer shades to recognize a quality American company when they see it. Much of California has been co-opted by the Japanese and may be annexed if the trend continues...
Well us Cali do have the money to support many sales of HDTV hopefully from Zenith If they can be competitive, as far as the suppporting the "little people" we also export more hi tech than some major countries GNP..I am a native Cali, and Own GM Cars, most of those beamies you alude to are probably transplants from Chicago , New York, and even some from the flat lands, like Florida..Most of the Technology in semi's will comefrom companies here in Cali, also look for "us" buying large equities in the fallen companies in the far east.. Most research in Semis will be done here not in Korea, all projects are on hold in the far east..Intel alone will invest 10 billion before the year 2001...Rick |
