Quote from: TrainCat2 on August 19, 2007, 05:26:31 PMOn a side note, a very interesting place. A nation of dichotomy. They want our money there, but not us. It may be urban legend, but I have heard that the character in Mandarin for a foreigner (or any non-Chinese) is the identical one to that for "vermin".

No thanks , after my stint in the Nam I don't eat anything I can't readily identify. Did you know dog was a delicacy? How about 10 day eggs [hint: feathers start to form on the eleventh day].

Monkey Meat on a stick on the Phillipines circa 1969. Good eating - as long as you hade enough San Miguel beer in you!

What I don't get is the PCM twin page display ads in NSR. They've released only one engine to the market yet come off as some sort of giant like Kato or Atlas in their advertising. Good grief, if the owner of the firm I work for advertised our services and there were none of us working for him, he would look absolutely stupid. Either put up or shut up.
Did you get their catalog two years ago? Very nice (read: expensive) production!

The business model at work here seems to demand "sound" -- I suspect there is either a business issue at work here (they can't afford to start actual tooling yet) or they haven't figured out the engineering for the sound units.
