Yippeeeee! You live in a place with NO sales tax??!! That must save you squillions. Our version of it GST (Goods and Services tax) rose from 12.5% to 15% a little while back, and there is already talk that it will have to go up to 17.5% to help pay for the rising cost of State superannuation cos of the Baby Boomers Bulge coming thru'. I know you won't be able to help yourself as far as keeping us posted on the new toy is concerned. :) I don't think they've said when the release date for NZ is yet. |

NO sales tax on anything here. Even states like Arizona have only a small city-by-city local tax that may be 1-2% or so. But Montana has NO TAX at all. Prepare to be inundated with updates and bulletins about the Nexus. After all - it ain't Linux - I hope not anyway. Ya know - one thing I really liked about Arizona, and this is not in all counties, but the county where I had the house +40 acres had a diminishing property tax that goes down as the mortgage is paid off until it is zero. If you had a house or even multiple houses on the property, there was no tax on the structures, but only on the dirt itself. As the bank got it's money, you property tax went down every year until it was zero, so you could never lose the property for failure to pay the property tax in old age. You owned it ad it went to your next survivor for free with no taxes too. If SOLD to a third part, the taxes were reinstated however. If you had a commercial business on the property, then only the structure that was use for commerce had any taxes to pay. But residents, garages and out building were all non-taxable for life. |

Since I don't have and don't want a cellphone, how am I being served well? Not . Could you not resist the dark side? :rolleyes: |

Then the 4-core something or other and the thingamajiggy that is called: 'BUTTER' to keep pixillation and screen chatter to a minimum - and that's all good for me. And I made an extra $600 today - so I also bought some bass guitar parts for my next building project. |

Pretty standard stuff really. Oh, and make sure your battery has only a plus 1.5 v terminal and a plus 5.7 v terminal.
