Yes 98% of my sales are exports. One positive is that people overseas seem to have a positive opinion of Australian tech so at least you don't face the same obstacles as selling within Australia. Of course even setting up a phone call is a logistic nightmare.

I have a positive opinion of Australian tech because I was one of many back in the day who learned a lot from Lions' Commentary on UNIX 6th Edition, with Source Code (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lions'_Commentary_on_UNIX_6th_...). This put the University of New South Wales on the map, and of course Australia as well.

Since then, I've noticed you've got a research institute that does a lot of wireless stuff, it or another has done some major L4 microkernels, and I happily pay Fastmail for my email service.
