>>You have been around here long enough that you probably remember Norm Weil.
Sure do. Great guy, and one of the old crew who moved freely back and forth from the FP camp as he used FP for commercial advantage in his business. As I recall, he vanished suddenly from Compuserve many years back. Is he still around?
>>last time I talked to him he had been spending a lot of time in Shanghai, since the business has moved to China. He said Shanghai makes New York look like a cow town.
LOL. Money plus cheap labor all over again, except that even your worst robber barons never polluted as badly as their Chinese counterparts.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
