Don't forget what Japan did to the Swiss watch. The euro-goon's reluctance to go with quartz, and Japan's eagerness to adopt, mass produce, and market the same, proved to be the undoing of a dynasty. Same smell here.

Every time I pass by one of those AT&T wireless kiosks with their array of pretty Nokia phones I'm reminded of that crook, "Psssst, hey, hey buddy, wanna buy a fine Swiss watch?" I love the blank look on their faces when I ask if T has gone to CDMA yet.

I only wish Nokia was French, it would make their eventual grovelling capitulation that much sweeter. (indulgences for Voltaire, of course)

product that was made in Europe besides a BMW or Mercedes.

This eurobashing is tiresome. You don't have a clue.

Jaguar, Volkswagen, Porsche and Audi seem to be doing pretty well here in So Cal. Agri chemicals from ICI fertilise most of the world. BP took over Amoco. Lets not forget the ARM core that is the brains of your cell 'phone
