[Switching to Offtopic] It's something to do with many things... but the fact is our dollar is fairly high against most currencies at present. The exceptions are other countries which comparatively high interest rates (eg Australia and the UK) and even against them it is pretty high (just not quite at record levels).
As for comparing with the exchange level 30 years ago (actually closer to 40 years ago I think you mean?) we had a pretty rocky time (think the Titanic) in the late 70's early-mid 80's which explains most of that depreciation! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Peacocke Sent: Friday, 27 July 2007 10:37 a.m. To: NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi List Subject: Re: [DUG] basic question Its nothing to do with our economy.
