[SOC] my troubles are over.

[Claude TERRIER - F5PBL]

Hi !

Well if the guy could "afford" loosing 8 million (I guess US $ ... it means
almost 60 millions FRF ... Mein Got !) I do not worry for him !!! In this
situation and as he was looking for more, he is not to worry.

What did you say ?? Asking abt FRF ?? Ah oui ... well, you know ... this "monkey
money" called Euro is so funny that I am still computing all prices using "my"
money. Before time our prices were "clear" to understand : a bread (800 gr)
would cost you 6 F 80, and all our prices were almost "rounded", no funny prices
"a la US" like "49.99 FRF", it may cost 49 FRF or 50 FRF or even 49.50 FRF but
never 49.99 ...
Now, a 800 gr bread costs 1.42 euros ... And so are all our prices, we are now
playing with the 0.01 Euros ... Our pockets are full of these *$!&�% 1
cent(ime)s small coins :o((
And I am still wondering who here will use the 500 euros banknotes (almost U$
450) ...
Well, maybe our fellow "businessman" (I am affraid he was not so good in
business after all !) ;o))

73!

Yes.  I've heard of a wealthy European businessman who lost about 8 Million
on one of these scams.  Apparently some people never have enough.
