According to Tek, Australia doesn't exist...

Went to the Tektronix website today to try and get some info and list
prices, and clicked on the "Select Country" list to get local
comparative pricing. Hmm, almost every country listed, except
Australia (and New Zealand).
Perhaps I should move to one of the 11 other countries starting with
"A"?

Out of curiosity I tried www.tek.com.au - oops!, where do I begin with
the puns?

I know the Tekmark Group are the authorised distributor in Australia,
but they are also authorised for Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand who
ARE listed on the Tek site.

So why are me missing I wonder?

Dave.

The way this country is going, that might be a plan.

Some of us are closer.
I'm only about 23km away as the crow flies.

Actually, on xmas day I was visiting some in-laws and we went out for
a walk around the neighborhood, and to my surprise found myself on
Phil's new street. And then on his old street too!
Perhaps I should have knocked on the door to wish him a merry xmas?

Dave.

  Yow!, that would be a major freak out similar to waking up in a
ditch in the tribal areas of Pakistan.
