  P.S.  IMO history shows that British computer designs
are often MUCH more
 sensible than their American contemporaries.  They treat the computer as a
 tool to be used rather than a hunk of hardware with software slapped on later.
 Too bad history shows that British computer *sales* are LESS successful than
 their American counterparts. 
Thats not only about the Brits. When it's up for sales, the
Americans are just numer 1 (maybe they had just absorbed to
many magrebinian shopkeppers/merchants :)

I heared a nice quote some time ago:
When it comes for a new product, on should place
development in Europe, production in Japan and
sales in the US.

Not so wrong at all
