    Alex-
     <<There are some funny features in the factory which remind me of
    Soviet Union:-) For example, they do not take credit cards.>>

    You might find that just as easily in the US. Credit cards are for consumer
    business, and any "real factory business" just doesn't deal with
    consumers--they only deal with resellers and commercial accounts. Many also
    would refer you to a local retailer who carried their goods, rather than
    compete with the retailers.

    So now, you can start a side business organizing "Tours to the sextant
    makers" for groups of US sailors!<G>
    "$1499 includes airfare from NYC to .... and four nights accomodations,
    deluxe motorcoach service to Freiberg and Bremerhaven, and certification of
    your sextant by two manufacturers!"
