| 201495 | 2003-12-18 14:53:00 | According to the article linked below, MS are making roughly 20% profits on their revenue in NZ, compared to approx 11% in Australia.

| 201496 | 2003-12-18 15:09:00 | How did you work your sums out on that, Greg? My maths are rotten, but I couldn't see enough Aussie detail there to make a comparison. |

| 201497 | 2003-12-18 15:12:00 | I just used El Calkulator :) It's just arithmatic really. What you doing up at this time of the morning Laura!? |

| 201498 | 2003-12-18 15:18:00 | And as a P.S....This looks like another of those ghastly across-the-page-so-needs-scrolling-threads already. I suggest anyone who wants to reply starts a new one. (Advice on how to fix it can't compare with not damn well having it in the first place) |

| 201499 | 2003-12-18 15:25:00 | It might be your browser settings - the link for me nestles nicely into two lines. Back to your q... it was really just an approximation: NZ Profits = 9 Revenue = 54 9 is a 5th of 54, therefore = 20% Aus Profits = 30 Revenue = 261 30 is approx an 8th of 261, therefore = 11% |

| 201500 | 2003-12-18 15:26:00 | Well, now that you've replied while I was writing, all I can say is that I admire your arithmatic (even if I don't know how you did it - but that was always my worst subjest at school) And as for my night hours - I am a night owl on occasion. So what are you doing up at this hour yourself - when all good computer fellers should be dreaming of what Santa will bring by now? |

| 201501 | 2003-12-18 15:33:00 | > So what are you doing up at this hour yourself Agh, I work from home and have somehow developed a reverse bodyclock :( I'll head to bed soon after having a salad for breakfast/dinner |

| 201502 | 2003-12-18 15:35:00 | And yes, sadly it's still a BIG page... needs scrolling for the details |
