There are two of us here in Bangalore. We bought the Empegs during our stay in the SF bay area though.

We'd have to do a lot more localisation work, too.

Peter,

I hope you appreciate what a problem you pose when you offer a response like this. Ignoring it, well, that just wouldn't be fair. On the other hand, attempting to respond to such thoroughly perfected deadpan dry wit will invariably fail to do your comment justice. What is one to do???

Oh, and that's localization, dammit!!

Hell, no need to worry about localisation. We *tried* to make everyone speak English. Their fault if they insist on using pre-colonial languages.

Hello! and D'oh!, I remember your avatar. So, dbrashear was perhaps offering a friendly BBS-specific correction to my omissions, but I was in to much of a...um...muddle to figure it out. Too much wine with dinner (quite evident as I reread wandering Friday evening posts on Saturday morning!).

As I was sitting typing last evening, I did think of how interesting it would be to create a world Empeg map or globe with "pins" stuck in it.

skibum. 101 so far.

Yup...D'oh!

Heck, Yogi's even got an Empeg Docking Station!

Yep, it would be interesting. You wouldn't need a lot of pins in South Asia though. Guess I was just lucky to be at the right place (getting paid in the right currency ) at the right time!

Mark, my friend emailed to say that he received it a couple of days back. Thanks! I'm hoping to lay my hands on them before the end of this month.

I realize the US is hated by the rest of the world, I think the reasons for this are frickin childish...

Brett,

in spite of all its policy of which I have wrote enough here, I cannot hate US, for it consists of Jim and Bitt and Jeff and Tony and another Tony and Doug and you and other hundreds of people here, and hundreds of other people I met in some way, and a coupe of hundreds of milions others I did not but wish I did. But I am perfectly capable of hating, or despising, or being mad at, Bush and his puppeteers, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Perle, Ashcroft, all 'think tanks' that give them illusion of credibility, all Enrons and their Kays, peddlers of Total Information Awareness and DMCA and all their ilk, and I think you should too, more than I do.

...aren't even that bad compared to some other coutries around the world

Brett, it would seem that critics here measure your country according to higher standards then "some other countries". Don't you think that is expected and reasonable?

I voted for Gore... I really thought Clinton/Gore did a kickass job when they were in office. I hate the current president but for some reason don't have a problem with the war. That said, I hate the way this country is being run now... I truly do... I snapped sorry guys

Lopan, it seems to me the most vitriolic attacks of the US on this board are from US citizens.

I dunno, theres a whole lot of it coming from every where

But I know what your saying and honestly I can't decide which bugs me more...
