Your Beauty!
Thinking in the same terms!
Can you imagine how many dollars would stay in the country!
Can you imagine what that could mean? ie
* AUS based standards setup (the setup would some up NON US based)
* AUS based look and feel (this is what you need to market!!!!!)
and so much more .......
and we are back to LINUX!
Maybe (this is not a joke) we can pull out a community backed up by small
businesses (I would certainly give a few dollars/equipment/webspace)
to get something like this going ? Sluggers? anyone?
