	The weak US dollar	1 Relevance	19 years ago	Modern Love	General discussion
	The weak US dollar is probably a huge contributing factor to these shells doubling or tripling in value on eBay. When I left Canada 4 years ago, the Canadian Dollar was only worth 60 US cents. I was quite surprised to learn that today the Canadian Dollar is almost equal to the US Dollar (at 94 cents), and is projected to reach parity in a few months. That's a huge difference, and those eBay armshells are always sold in USD. I can only assume the Euro is strong too, yes? http://www.xe.com
	new or vintage	1 Relevance	19 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	new or vintage The difference with the prices is most likely because of the year that they were produced. The LCW was produced from 1945-1957. They were re-issued in 1994. So - in all likelihood the one on ebay is pushing 50 years old. Heres my take on the LCW: I love it. But I want (and have) a new production because I want to SIT it in. The vintage ones are beautiful, but probably substantially more fragile than a new production. The age of the glue on the backrest puts them at a risk of the back popping off, which would only traumatize you even more ...

	finch I agree with you buying from China is a difficult question to answer... so many say what is the difference if you want it buy it. I just read 5 minutes ago that China executed the head of there food and drug administration cause he took around $850,000 worth of bribes, cause he caused disgrace on the country for faulty drugs and a bad reputation to the Republic of China, I think they are concerned about there reputation for some reason in the world market and they are very capable of ...
	You have to remember something about Jobs...Pt.3	1 Relevance	19 years ago	dcwilson	General discussion
	You have to remember something about Jobs...Pt.3 Apple makes iPods and computers; that is, they are heavily bit oriented. They need to diversify quick. Hence the movie content biz of Pixar and eventually the fusion with disney media. But they have never been a good software competitor. They can only do propietary softwary embedded in their bits. So the likelihood of a bunch of new Apple software is doubtful. And Apple computers are being migrated incrementally to interchangeability with Microsoft boxes. Soon the only difference will be the OS itself. And at ...

	... for their dissertation, they are usually at the threshold of their coping and some contact with the life force and the realities of another's life--especially one that, like mine, does not set too high of a standard--can make a difference. An old professor of mine used to say, "in undergraduate school, we give you the question and the answer and test to see if you can memorize them. In the master's program, we give you the question, and you have to come up with the answer and we ask you to defend the answer. In the doctoral program, we ask you to make up th ...
	Hello Paulanna..	1 Relevance	19 years ago	vivienne	General discussion
	Hello Paulanna.. Good point.Im sure though that you can see the difference between"why do Arabs love Rococco" and "Why is gilt furniture so popular in the middle east". I know that some people take politcal correctness to extremes these days but surely we are more educated and enlightened these days to give such sweeping statements?. I suppose the middle eastern people who like such furniture do so because they do, just like we all have our own favourites.

	Just to clarify	1 Relevance	19 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	Just to clarify And just to clarify: I do believe there is a difference between a giclee print, where a photograph of an artwork is taken, color corrected digitally, and output into what is basically an inkjet printer; and the medium of art prints that is commonly accepted as woodcut, engraving, etching, lithography (non-commercial), screenprinting, aquatint etc.

	... Ben would confirm that. I can understand why early Conran's would not have much market value...history makes some kind of selection and being fronm that period is not enough. But one of these days paulanna we should have a thread on the difference between a "designer" and a "design figure".
	kagan piece bought in 1979	1 Relevance	19 years ago	LRF	General discussion
	... that it was made by Kagan . i always thought that it was milo Baughman and i don't think it would have made that much of a difference for me . I did buy it in 1979 for 650.00 so at the time I thought i was doing o.k. to sell it for 350.00 26 years later since it was in one of our warehouses with lots of old stuff. i sold it to a vintage modern store, for a modest amount but seeing it jacked up to $12,500 is JUST PLAIN STUPID!!!!

	Many thanks for all the replies.	1 Relevance	19 years ago	janoner	General discussion
	... to answer the earlier question all of which would make no difference to the real situation of designing. I feel I should explain why I came upon this question. My degree is very much aimed at industrial design and it feels suffocating by its emphasis on making it work no matter how it looks. For once I tried doing a brief by the book and making something truly work in terms of functionality/production and costing. The end result fulfilled the brief but I felt unsatisfied with it and this is where my lead question came from. I think what I was basically get ...

	... givens as immutable as the sun and stars. What are these houses and bowling alleys and strip malls all about really? Are products designed to market striations of Walmart, then Target then department stores and then boutiques, then Rodeo Drive really working. Will products that connect to walls for current stay the same now that scientists have proven that they can light a light bulb or run a small appliance with electromagnetic radiation at a distance of ten feet? What the hell do you care what the difference is between the concepts of art and design when ...

	I haven't found a site that doesn't need you to post your photos on a web-hosting service. The only difference here is a slightly different code when linking to your host. For the record, the code is: surround your photo URL with quotation marks, precede it with img src= and surround the whole thing with
	Hi Pete	1 Relevance	20 years ago	koen	General discussion
	Hi Pete I was talking about cost "ex factory" not what the company charges...That last one has of course nothing to do with cost but with what people are willing to pay...the difference is called added value.
	I use Murphy's too, but..	1 Relevance	20 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	I use Murphy's too, but.. ..I use it straight out of the bottle, applied with a folded paper towel. I leave it on for only a minute or two, then wipe off with clean paper towels. Most grime will come off in this first minute. Then I rinse off the soap residue with a wet sponge very quickly, then dry. I just got a single CH23 chair last night at auction for ten bucks--woohoo! I cleaned off half the back and will admire the difference a bit before doing the rest of it. I like before 'n' afters. They can be so dramatic.
