Sincerely,
Zigfried from Get Smart...Created by Buck Henry and Mel Brooks for
those sensitive types from Womannotes...then again the two creators
were males but in all fairness Mel Brooks must have had some actresses
who played authoritative roles in his movies...like Madelyn Kahn in
History of the World Part 1...she also was casted quite well in Young
Frankenstein.

| How is it justified? The idea of free market is to be able to compete,
trade, and knock the other guy out of business.

| Topic 4286 in HUMANE::DIGITAL has been write-locked at the request of Cary
Armistead of the corporate law department, and several replies have been set
hidden, due to the presumed possibility of increased legal risk to Digital.

yep, (sighhhhh)leave it to the lawyers..... I didn't have a chance to read
those write-locked replies, but seriously, we are a threat to
ourselves, eh??
I bet you other companies practise the so-called "anti-competitive"
methods, in other shades, like threatening non-support should you,
the customer, choose brand X.
Give Digital a break, y'know. geez. Are they raiding microsoft
and intel next. I mean there's a duopoly, if there's one.

| Most computer related stuff is much more expensive in Europe than in
the US, not just Digital. MicroSnot springs to mind. Interesting,
though, that Digital's overheads are probably lower as the salaries
are much less here than in the US.

| Yes, a box of overheads is quite expensive here now.

| Salaries may be lower in England; they are much higher in Germany.
In addition, in Germany most employees are herded out the door by the
union leaders, forbidden to come in to work on weekends by law, and
also not permitted to do work at home in the evening or weekends.
And then there are the much higher taxes in Europe.

| What's the minimun amount of vacation in Germany? 6 weeks?
|
| 597.19 | | COVERT::COVERT | John R. Covert | Thu Nov 23 1995 10:49 | 5 |
| Yes, and because Digital has a 40-hour work-week rather than the 37.5 legal
work week, Digital employees there get over 9 weeks of vacation each year,
in addition to about fifteen public holidays.

| 9 weeks is the minimum for Holland from what I understand.
9 weeks. Lots of time for hobbies, like brewing beer.
