What exactly did he imagine this achieved ?


A way to separate fools from money.

He made them initially for his own use.

Morning TT.

We need to be a little careful here in currency conversion. I was
originally workingin Euros, a currency considerably stronger
than the USD.

But for Arny's benefit I switched to USD on a 1:1 rate. I did
this for two reasons. 1) I wondered if Arny would be familiar
with the Euro (and aware of its value) and 2) becase, according
to a post (by Peter W, IIRC) electronic assembly work is poorly
paid in the US. But, the real rate would have been USD 138,65
per hr.

In Phil's case, it becomes AUD 165.90 (Probably a great deal
less than he earns at the moment:-)

Best regards
Iain

I have no idea. It seems, like Eiron said, that this
is nothing new, but like most things, gas been tried
before. I understand thereare also companies in
Italy who make speaker cable exactly in this way.

Sorry. Early morning typo (yet again) for "gas" read
"has"

Yes. I had a feeling he had not invented something
new. But he certainly does seem to have found
a market niche.


Some of us have these ethics thingies that keep us from perpetrating
scams like that.


Come on Arny. Don't come over all sanctimonious on us.

I've turned down more lucrative deals on the same grounds.


Yes, yes. Arny. Of *course* you have:-))

But why ?

Screened cable is irrelevent to such a connection.

USD, Aust.D, Can.D or even HKD it is *STILL* more than
Philthy can earn in an hour! The closest he could get is
probably 100 IDR/hr as a speed bump in the local shopping
mall :-))

BTW IDR Indonesian Rupiah 7,781 = A$1.00

Cheers Terry :-))

It is not clear to me if he has 'invented' anything, or why the arrangement
would be of any interest or relevance - apart perhaps to those who have an
interest in knotwork or embroidery. :-)

Slainte,

Jim

So who does electronic assembly?

Certainly, not I!
