Hi Victor,

I travel through London regularly and as a self-confessed tech-head, I often look at Dixons and other High Street shops.

Got to admit that the price comparisons to this end of the world (Middle East) is not favourable. I would estimate that, for example, Hi-Fi componentry is at least 60% to 80% more expensive over there.

FWIW I don't know the origin of cheap in the English language...

vepoc... O.T. "cheap"
A street in London..."Cheapside" where people would barter or trade
....or where they would ceapian (buy).
Those people would try to bargain for the best prices.

.........Are you still positive about Japan?...not much positive happening there as far as is reported here (US).

.........CPQ still in a trading range. Expect improvement before
next earning announcement, with more visibility towards DEC integration.

Loki
