I guess the same could be said for the other companies like Google, eBay, etc as they're setup in Ireland too. Good call :) Hey Patrick, I never thought of the Amazon money situation you mention.

I buy from America whenever I can. One other thing to consider is your Amazon.com shop, for instance. The money goes to America, yes. But, Amazon.com is an international corporation (do they have any offices in Ireland? no idea) and you actually take 5% home or whatever it may be that goes right back to you in Ireland. Money can go ways that are not always immediately clear. :) Keith,
