 Little start up companies like NEC, Hitachi and Toshiba.

FLAME ON

 The japanese advantage is BIG corporations that treat competition like
a sumo wrestling match. The biggest guy in terms of fat or capital investment
can push the smaller guys out of the ring.  Combined with the social security
system or lack thereof, capital is cheaper cause people save a lot of money in
the bank.  USA, inc. seems to treat competition like open range cattle ranching,
If somebody is on this pasture, move somewhere else like insurance or real
estate development.

Its time to move this topic into some talk or soc newsgroup.  Since I leave
that stuff alone, anyone have any suggestions.
