June 17, 2002 A very important event happened, though it may seem insignificant to you. A visitor from Russia decided to trade a patch that he wanted from my site for several pins that he has. Instead of bying that patch somewhere locally (he lives in Vladimir, Russia) he found it easier to get it from a dude in the US ! What does it mean ? I think that with the ease of access to global Internet resources, people can find it easier for them to purchase/tade things that they need, regardless of their locations. The price factor also plays a major role: if a Russian made product costs less in the US than in Russia, a customer will make a right choice...
