still a strong seller while PS3 units collect dust. Everybody who paid
thousands of dollars for the PS3 on ebay suddenly realized that they

No, they don't. Sony is a $65 BILLION dollar a year company, and game
consoles are a small part of that. It made a net profit of over $1
billion
last year.

Sony will be around a long, long time.

That isn't a very good ROI.

That is because it is not "ROI."

ROI is "return on investment" or the payback on invested capital. ROI,
simplified, is how much you make each year on each dollar invested. Often
companies are measured in return on assets, as opposed to investment
capital.

Sony's $1.5 billion profit vs. $66 billion in sales gives you the profit
margin, which is just about 2%.

Supermarkets often have a margin below 1%. The profit is on volume. Other
business may have margins of 20% to 25%, but these are usually service
companies, not manufacturers. GE has a high margin, around 12%. Honda has a
margin of 5%.- Hide quoted text -

As mentioned many a time, I dropped out of high school because it was boring
and because I put my first radio station on the air as I was about to finish
school. That station became #1 in its large market immediately; I took the
tests and was on the Dean's List in college about 10 years later... until I
got a group management job that was vastly more interesting.

So, to me being a dropout is hardly an insult. I'm really happy that I did
what I did and that I did not continue my education until I had a decade of
management level experience to show me what was relevant and what was not.

"Hispanic" as you fail to realize, is a culture. People who spend most of
their life in a culture are _of_ that culture.

But, I'm not fake! I was merely born. 'Edweenie' on the other hand decided to pick
up his 'Hispanic' shtick around the year 2000. Though he denies it, the record does
not support his claims.

You, on the other hand, are merely just another dumbass Canuck.

Mohawks got y'all worried?

I moved to Mexico in the early 60's and then on to Ecuador and Puerto Rico.
I have worked exclusively in Spanish all my adult life... not just since
2000. I have never spoken to my duaghters in English that any of us
recall... in other words, I live a different culture than the one I wos born
to because of the nearly 50 years I have been a part of it.

You, on the other hand, have _no_ culture. There is nobody above your
insults, especially when you go on a binge on the weekends and start
cussing. I read Cervantes in the original, García Lorca and Neruda. You read
the label on the Jack Daniels bottle.

Culture is based on exposure, while ethnicity and race and nationality are
based on birth.
