This morning, I read in the newspaper that TLG Denmark will have to "dumb" 1,000 of its 10,000 workers due to bad commercial results! TLG itself is not in great danger, but it has lost a lot of customers to electronic toys and computergames. IMHO: (...) (27 years ago, 19-Jan-99, to lugnet.general)

Why do you think the Fed is having the Mints print up an extra 50,000,000,000 US dollars this year? Because they know there will be runs on banks this year *possibly* due to ingnorance, _or_ *possibly* due to being smart. Time will tell... (...) (27 years ago, 19-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)
