Hi all,

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

X's 2!

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.

But Vax trumped dyson by upping its warranty [parts and labor] on new vacuums to 6 years!

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

Hello Mole:

As a fan and daily reader of Scott Adams, you would be impugning Dilbert and overly complimenting Tom Gasko.

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.

Thats about the only good thing about the new VAX machines is the 6 year warranty!  One thing people will notice about these machines is how bulky and heavy they are and how many 'fiddley' switches and dials are on them!
