Don't forget our government's export restrictions on things like computers, I remember when we couldn't sell 80286's to certain countries. The Japanese don't have these restrictions except in the case where they worry about the U.S.'s reaction. I wonder whats going to happen when (not if) they decide to sell everything from memory chips to supercomputers to the Russians? It won't be long before they realize that there isn't a whole lot this government could do about it. -- jim jharkins@sagpd1 I *still* don't know who killed Laura Palmer!
