One more thing

I'm pretty sure that my first Dell, that I bought back in '95, was assembled in the USA. I'm not claiming that all of which the computer was comprised were made in the USA. I'm just saying that final assembly was done in the US -- at least, that's what I remember.

While sticking my head inside the case of the machine that I got today, I noticed that a lot of components were made in China. Components like the case, power supply, cables, motherboard. And I got to thinkin' -- I bet this thing was assembled in China, based almost entirely on Chinese-built parts.

And then I thought about how times had changed.

And then I got one last whiff of the "new computer smell", and got to playing with my new toy.
