>> so it was $43
>> a machine.  Whoop dee doo.

> That can feed a family in Africa for 130 days. Whoop dee doo is right -.-

Surprisingly:

As:

I've just been estimating costs for an ultra low cost project in Africa (not 
electronic)(I threw in some electronics as extras).

The guideline was $US2/day for skilled labour and $US1/day for unskilled 
labour.

$43 over 130 days is 33 cents US/day.

Then:

so arguably your figure may have been about correct :-).

Northwestern China unskilled casual labourers rate is about 400 RMB - about 
$US2/day at current exchange rates.
