Hi Jay, Had a nice nap I hope... Nice pictures of Hong Kong. The beaches look really nice. And so do the homes. I was quite surprised at how inexpensive Hong Kong actually is. I had always heard it was a very expensive place to live. I presume that the more desirable residential locations are at the south-central part of the island? And I further presume that the area labeled as Central is the business and commerce section of Hong Kong? Being closer to Central means less expensive housing, for the common man? KJC

Check my corner, Jay www.xave.de/DJsCorner there's two or three new entries this saturday. I do nothing but swill beer and wait for tomorrow - I promised my daugther to go into the mountains. I wanted to finish something for monday, but I am lazy like hell - well, that's conditional. Translating nespaper pages of German (in the hope the thread finds it useful and amusing) is a sign of a deeper problem (g). Temperature lower (34), humidity in the middle 50s. How do you handle 38/95%?! RegZ dj

Lots of places will no longer be feasible to carry on doing business. Industry migrated from places where it was no longer feasible to manufacture. The developed economies priced them out of the market. The same will happen to all kinds of businesses. That work ethics is totally gone. Service economy. What service economy? A service industry to replace manufacturing? No way? What replaced the real economy of things being designed, made and sold, was a scam economy which the Enrons, Tycos 3G auction are the best example. The productivity that paid for the inflated economies has vanished. There is no money to pay for the costs. The whole thing is cast and immobilized. You can't even run a Formula One race in those countries because you can't paint the logo in the cars.
