furtechWhat a fascinating situation (to me, at least).
I'm up late/early, watching the financial world making history (not *good* history, but history none-the-less), emailing reference pictures to someone in Indiana, Georgia and wiring (Paypal, actually) money to a third party in Ireland. And I just witnessed (so to speak) a coordinated fifty-point rate cut by the US, the EU, England, Canada, Sweden and Switzerland-- which was just preceded by seeing Japan's market drop by nearly 10% in one day-- and that was preceded by England partially socializing their financial market. Just over a hundred years ago getting a letter from across the nation in a week was considered outstanding. Amazing times.
Sorry to spam up your friends lists...I guess I'm kind of doofy right now.
