@niconiconi hey, the #GDR did attempt to make good money, but due to #CoCom aka. #Cyberfacism with #Embargos of #Technology and their de-facto nonexisting liquidity, maximum output of 1Mbit chips was propagandized at a number lower than a early monday shift at Toshiba at the same era...

Not to mention like #Russia's #MCST the tech used is several generations older than "state of the art"...
