No. I mean "I have a factory in Taiwan" Long story. I am an Aussie who has lived over 25% of my life in Taiwan. Found myself without the right to work about 12 years ago and decided to start a company instead. Figured that one hand of the government would not know what the other hand was doing...." The rest is history. > I do design work for a New Zealander who lives in Taiwan. He gets product > manufactured there and sells in Europe. We may have some commonality of > interests? Oh, OK. In all my years there, I never met another Kiwi and only one other Aussie. Plenty of Americans and Europeans. What type of products do you design? We may be interested in utilising your services also. Let me know how I can help. I am not trying to advertise my services - I simply see some of the frustration what I call "gurus" on this list trying to help the newbies get started. As I am no longer a newbie, but certainly not a guru, I just feel that it may be something that I can do to help. I do not know what sort of dollars this proposed "PBK" would have to end up at, but I am sure it would have to save everybody some time.
