Bingo.

Look at last year's figures. They made less than 1m net on 109m or something sales? That's less than 1%, which means they are doing worse than supermarkets. I don't know if I should or

In fact, if they were, thumbs down. Have they no sense of loyalty and pride to their country?

The name change was probably more attributible to "Hey look we own this brand name that made a few really cool things then went down the ****hole, why don't we use it" plus a severe lack of mental function...

Also note, "Infogrames" is IMO a hell of a much cooler name than "Atari".

What the heck are you talking about? Americans couldn't care less about France and anyone could live without doing business with French companies.

Now a French company trying to survive without selling stuff to Americans is a tad bit more difficult.

They changed to Atari from Infrogrames because they had already run their own name into the ground.

This guy can't be for real. You try to have a debate and he waffles off on a tangent about some spurious irrelevant rubbish.

Oh well, can't say he's the first person like that I've ever encountered...lolol

Unfortunately, he's not screwing with you. He genuinely is a completely incomprehensible moron. He was also the first person to recieve the honor of being on my ignore list (the second was MOBIUS)

You get today's reward for repeating the post you quoted. That's exactly what I said--they didn't care. I didn't even know Infogreed was French until they become Atarpit.

I than not in the witness protection program. The cost which the mod have to paid to tranform dirtly money to clean money was well know to the authority as they where the one getting paid off. Now day it pettry hard to have the control over money they have in the past when the big corporation have to wait afew month to sent large sum of money fron one country to another. It is easy to struggle money from Italy to Switzerland but getting than bank to accept it is another matter without then asking alots of question. Try walking into than Swiss Bank with than few billion dollar in small bills and they donot know you. Swiss have bank secretly law but bank are require to ask question about questionable depot of large sum of money.

Swiss have arule that the old current of some nation that where change over to the Euro have to change it to dollar paying than 25% of amount of money fee and another 25% of amount of money to change dollar to Euro or you have to withdrawn the money and struggle it back to your country to change it when the change over took place. Alot
of tax cheap where caught struggleing the money back in.
The real criminal paid the fee both way to change the old currently to Euro. The Swiss Banks look as it as than tax on
criminal. There are some other place that charge than tax
on money kept in their bank with bank secretly law of 1 to 2 % on all despot of money.

The Euro is here to stay as it make bussiens in those nation happy as they donot have to worry about the current exchange rate on they balance sheet. Like than Germany Company that have stores in Italy, and French doesnot have to worry about exchange rate which can play havos with finical statement. One time in America Bank where allow to issue they own Bank Notes which every confuseing to people
that they have than book which came out every year listing all good banknotes, bad banknotes, and the discount to apply on both good and bad banknotes, plus it list all confect banknotes. People where time of happy when the Federal Reservive Bank System was form.

I disagreed with your post. You claimed you have yet to find many who have been able to boyott French products and keep it up, insinuating that its virtually impossible to live without French products.

Unless your post was sarcasm, in which case I missed the sarcastic tone.

I meant their attention span or seriousness was too small to keep up the list of French products and how to avoid them. Not that it was impossible to get by without lovely French inventions like...uh...damn.

Skywalker.....having read his latest few posts, I would have to agree with you - he is a moron and stark raving mad to boot.

Shogun - gee, you know who your friends are here! We've never even met and you're telling our mafia friend CharlesBHoff aka Jimmy Hoffa to whack me!!! Oh well, wait till I meet you in multiplay! (if I ever work out how to use AND have the time to commit without having to pull out half way through!)

To their credit, French banks are doing extremely well, so maybe that is where there trait kicks in!

What's your take on the looming French bank scandal in California?

No way a deal happens without Pinault being protected... he has a MPP with Chirac!!
