It shouldn't be. This doesn't happen here.

Let's do his sums shall we ?

$20,000 saved in $1per day units will take 55 years to save !

No chance of buying a house there.

Let's be generous and assume a $10,000 deposit saved at the rate of $5 per day.
That'll take 5.5 years.

Unfortunately the price will have increased by then.

That isn't what I said.

I said *die from a lack of health care* as in say die from some infection whilst
still young, not die of old age. Clearly you know you have no 'answer' to that
one.

A parallel port isn't a COM port though. Just the serial ones.
