and oil at $107. According to forecasts the Euro might climb to $1.60.
China apparently has started reducing its dollar reserves. -- Alfred Molon http://www.molon.de - Photos of Asia, Africa and Europe |

And some US companies are charging in Europe for their products the dollar price in Euro. They must be thinking Europeans are stupid. -- Alfred Molon http://www.molon.de - Photos of Asia, Africa and Europe |

Please name a few of these products. -- ************* DAVE HATUNEN ) ************* * Tucson Arizona, out where the cacti grow * * My typos & mispellings are intentional copyright traps * |

Please name a few of these products. To make a couple of examples: 1. Initially Apple was charging its European customers the same amount in Euro it was charging US customers in dollars for song downloads. 2. The other day I was looking for an instant messenger software for the Palm Centro. Found QuickIM, which costs $30 to Americans and 30 Euro to Europeans. -- Alfred Molon http://www.molon.de - Photos of Asia, Africa and Europe |

On the particular moment of Thu, 13 Mar 2008 01:19:09 +0100 in
relation to Mary's disappointingly immaculate rumpy pumpy, Mxsmanic put forth: Hatunen writes: Problem for whom?

The Euro has risen, but not nearly as much as the dollar has fallen. -- --- DFM - http://www.deepfriedmars.com --- -- |
