Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3-2-2024 — Mehmed 2nd

3rd February, 2024: Mehmed 2nd.


Yes: it’s officially Saturday.

And?

The theme tune to an old TV show has replaced the earworm I have banging around my head, yesterday.


Putting Republica’s version of “Are Friends Electric” could be an idea!

Did I mention I’m on Quora?   The question and answer site … ?

I’m on the question and answers site, Quora: if you didn’t know.

Sometimes, it’s good to contribute what little you know — however accurate it is — to others.

One question I answered recently?

Was this one, about getting a Mac: I felt I could contribute.

What (mildly) shocked me, when doing the very basic research for it?

Was the price difference the online currency converter showed me.

The UK price for my model was some £650: about $840 dollars, at the time of writing.

The US price, $599?   Worked out at some £475!


I believe US prices don’t include sales tax, the US equivalent to VAT*, that UK prices have to include.

But even so: that difference is quite astounding!
