FreakZhio’s Looking For Some Computer Love (And Gitte2001’s Looking For Consumer Justice)

Posted in Uncategorized on September 1, 2017 by themaresnest

This caper all started when blast from the past FreakZhio came looking for laptop help, and no prizes for guessing who was first to respond…

But what was Igazor thinking in paging anyone on the night of that episode of Awesome Show Is Awesome when most of us were left with no toenails let alone fingernails left?

Get these heretics told, Phoebebebe13!

But anyway, Namaya92, Jadeleine and Simasaurus09 threw their tuppenceworth in as to what FreakZhio ought to be throwing his tuppences at:

And Gitte2001 decided to chuck her two €urocents in over those damned rebel colonists getting a bigger bang for their buck than those they export to (unsurprisingly enough!):

We almost despaired at Pheobebebe13’s answer:

But that’s just it, Belgium is part of the European Union, a customs union of 508 million people (as opposed to the U.S at 325 million) where goods can be moved freely, and being at its heart rather than some provincial backwater shipping costs shouldn’t come into it. It’s pretty hard to escape the conclusion the rest of the world subsidises cheaper laptops for the American market.

Of course, you could earn the money for a better PC Gitte by running computer part smuggling operations into the UK when we Brexit, you’ll be a millionaire within a year easily!
