    Flaquez got a reaction from Tan3l6 in Why is computer hardware so heavily taxed in some countries ?   
    Tell me about it... I'm from Argentina. We have an import duty of 50% (that's right) and that 50% is after shipping: for example it out something that costs $200 in usa, and the shipping is $ 60, then you have to pay $ 130 in taxes. So it will finally cost $ 390... twice the price in origin.
    The other problem is that wages are very low right now.. minimum wage is about 130 us dollars a month right now, and going down. A normal wage is about 300/350 (that's considered middle class). So we have to save a lot for a decent computer.

    I'm sure you are a great guy. Life is the greatest gift of all... try to live it the best you can. We all have issues, problems and drawbacks but also happiness, joy, family, a couple of very good friends. And then this magnificent universe in which we live in which is like an amazing picture for us to discover and understand (at least a very tiny part of it).
    And if you think about it, it's all we have
    Cheers
