Please, let's not start a whole discussion in comp.sys.amiga about
world trade and economics.  That's liable to prove even more
irrelevant than the discussion about the worth of multitasking we've
been suffering thru lately.  I subscribe to comp.sys.amiga to learn
about & discuss the capabilities and functions of the *amiga*, not to
read endless discussions about these side issues.
