BGR, Hong Kong is a slightly different breed from the rest of SE Asia. They've been brainwashed by Brits. Thus, they're almost as dumb as Americans. -g- Kidding aside, Hong Kong folks are astute businessmen. They ain't paying up for brand names. It ain't happening. I don't know where you get that data, but all Asians are cheap minded people. The few who think that they need a Lexus or Mercedes are considered impractical and lack humility and are not the norm. Most of Asia could careless if their PC said DELL or WU or WONG or HoChiMin as long as it runs nicely and is cheap. They love them clones. Many of DELL's box is made by a Taiwan company. That boxmaker is happy to put 'BGR' on it if you want to market it as such. It's all the same and the people know that. mike
