>>>Have you considered of setting a T-shirt China agent, >>>I believe it could be a big market! :-)
>>China?!? Ummm, what'd likely happen is that you'd be seeing >>'vim' shirts being sold overseas alllll over the place, yet >>mysteriously *none* of the funds would be going to the real >>originators or to the iccf. >how hopefully you're making a *none*objective appraises! Piracy is *rampant* in China, despite "official" noises by the government being made to "curb" it. A friend in manufacturing who wanted to have a part made in China was warned to *never* send the entire product to be made by a single supplier, only pieces which don't fit together, else he *would* be seeing the same part he intended to sell being sold back here in the US for almost half what he was intending to sell it. Industrial machinery was and is being counterfeited here in the US as well. *Huge* machines, not just pocketbooks! Counterfeit goods is a *huge* business there, and not only name brands, but even "off" brands which have a distinctive style. Tux the Linux Penguin was one victim of counterfeit shirts not too long ago. Anyway, I don't want to clog up the list with more of this, so I'll be leaving it at this and not replying any more. Just wanted to warn the originator about what you were suggesting... >by the way, does iccf means "The International Correspondence >Chess Federation" <http://www.iccf.com/content/index.php> ? >(sorry for my ignorance) Some kind of international chidren's fund in Uganda. Don't recall the specifics. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. For more information, visit http://www.vim.org/maillist.php
