Are we sure we’re doing Ea-Nasir justice? Perhaps he was a perfectly fine copper salesman but had a weird and totally unhinged customer review (or complaint) he found funny displayed in his home.
2011 wants this post back
With my first prepaid phone in Germany texts did cost 0.49 € per text. So I did not use them super often. Years later around 2011 that price had decreased to 0.15€ and I was texting friends a lot during uni.

The TSMC share alone is now worth much more than Philipps Market Cap.
