I am looking to purchase a new notebook computer and would prefer an Apple system due to the superior architecture, reliability and You will have to search really, really, really hard to find any item of electronics with components solely from the USA. Not only things like semiconductors are mostly made in asia, but LCD panels, and many passive components. To such an extent that I would be astounded if any laptop available in the US is not built with a sizable fraction of imported components. I would be utterly astonished if someone had gone to the herculean lengths needed to US source everything, as, for example, AIUI, the US does not really make notebook LCDs at the moment. |

My AlBook was assembled in Shanghai (People's Republic of China), which sidesteps that quite nicely. Hope you enjoy your new Apple laptop! Although you could still argue that Taiwan is part of China... anyone claiming differently should check their history or geography books. History and current events shows that Taiwan and China don't share a government, which means that politically, one is not part of the other, despite the rather odd diplomatic fictions the two maintain. Geography shows that Taiwan is an island. |

That means that even assholes get to say what they think. In balance, I think it's best. |

Marc A friend of mine had a saying I liked: "Democracy means having to put up with things that really **** you off." Seems to me like that philosophy kind of applies here. Or to use a phrase attributed to Voltaire, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." Bob Pownall |

It's annoying, true, but it does let us easily know who the real moonbats are; indicted out of their own mouths, as it were. Tim is merely one of the more odious examples. |
