just a word to the socialists. they are (although crappy aswell) actually the best party here. I don't know if you have a picture of the so-called "christ-democrats", but... well. they suck...
anyway, the taxes here are damn high. yes. but I don't actually think that it will result in a "lowering" of our standarts, because, as said before, PCs are quite cheap in this time... maybe we have to use the "older" ones a little longer (I'm typing this on a Athlon-550), but as long as they work it's perfectly ok.
well. All in all I liked (and like) otherland very much, I am currently reading it again and can't get rid of it...
But I also gotta agree with what has been said above... Sometimes it is _really_ boring, IMHO especially the second and third novel, I almost had to fight with them and it took me about two years to get these two finished (because while reading them I read a lot of other books)... but once you're in, it's not that easy to get out again.
