Hi all,

Following is a link to a news article regarding the up and down sides for Electrolux during this year's first quarter.

Yeah, they *surely* would have offered 6 years, even if the market leader didn't offer 5!

I don't know, but I'd be of the presumption that the quality of the VAX after sales support wouldn't be a patch on Dyson's.

Hi M00seUK:

I think most vacuum buyers who shop the big box retail stores for their vacuums don't know and/or care about the difference in service support.  The warranty period is an up front selling feature in their minds and pocket minds.  Much like any other feature intrinsic to the vacuum.

Hello DIB:

I'm getting ready to write my Congressional representatives about this matter.  I'm going to propose an intellectual property rights' tax.  My sense is that it will be an excellent source of revenue.  I'm surprised that it has not been thought of and proposed already.  Now, if I can only figure out a way to get a percentage of the revenues collected from the tax!  Rather than a flag that has flown over the Capitol!  Show me the money!

Carmine,

It's no wonder that we have such a large trade deficit with the Chinese.  While we tend to pay for their products, they have a bad tendency to steal/copy our software, movies, and any and all intellectual property that they can get their hands on.   The Chinese also make it impossible to sue their companies by setting up enormous hurdles and mazes of government regulations.  I don't know how anyone can call it "free trade" with a straight face.

Can't agree enough. Plus add in near-slave wages our trade policy is a joke to the world. The emergence of third world economies for the benefit of "get rich at any cost" American Corporations is very much to blame for high oil prices.

Speaking of manufacturing jobs going to China and elsewhere.  Check out how much Wal-Mart advertises (until told “no” by NAD) the average American saves by shopping at their store  A $2500 savings comes at an awfully high price!        DIB

Carmine, a few points of clarification.

1.  The DC02 was the ONLY vacuum called the ReCyclone, there were NO recycled DC03s.  I don't know where you pulled that from, but perhaps I should type slower so you can understand. 

2.  Tom G. never mentioned once about the Lionel train lawsuit.  I mentioned this when I spoke to him and he said that he did not know anything about it (and could care less).  As I recall he only said there would BE a lawsuit, which there was.  You yourself came up with all the gobbledygook about Lionel. 

3.  If you don't stop calling me by Tom's name, I'm going to start calling you Bertha (or Rotunda, nevermind, that's what I'll call Mole).

Hello Tom:

Your memory is failing you.  I told you to mind your thinking/memory and not to concern yourself about mine.  Obviously my recall of events and circumstances is much better than yours.

Everyone here knows I'm Carmine D.   Just like they know you to be Tom Gasko.  You can call me anything you like.  With your failing and poor memory, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if you forget my name and start calling me by other names too like you are calling Tom Gasko motor head and dualcyclone.

Well at least the slothful can claim something originated from them and not Dyson.        DIB
