Swedes steal out jobs in clothing stores but we get to go to Sweden and buy cheap meat/booze/cigarettes/candy, so it sort of evens out... Minus the letting the Germans invade us while you watched part.
Yeah, that was a dark period in Swedish history, which is still very controversial. It’s got not a lot to do with Norway and quite a bit to do with anti-semitism and facism, which were stronger at that time than we like to admit.

That’s quarter-assed at best.
My guitar set up guy here in Nashville is Swedish and I call him Swede though his name is Tom. I used to bust his balls incessantly about WW2 and he'd say "My grandfather told me we fought to get rid of the Nazi's" until one day he looked it up on the internet and called me in tears. I felt bad.
I don't feel bad living in Halden and being right on the border to go over to Sweden and get cheap cigarettes/meat/candy and booze (The booze ain't for me. I usually grab it for my pals).
Only good thing about living in Halden, eh Ugly Casanova? <g>

Will enter into a quite demanding project next month, but hope to get a head start on finishing up the leftover ~35 units that aren't sold yet. Will also hire a friend to help out with production of a much bigger, much more streamlined batch of FAB. Starting production in February or March depending on how soon I can get the box/PCB/faceplate designs tested and produced.
