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.

No, Taiwan.

aka ROC, which happens to stand for Republic of China.

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.

How about asking residents of Taiwan.

*They* don't seem to think they belong to to PRC.

When I buy a product, I look for assembly outside one of the "we be
niggaz" assembly zones. In other words, I look for quality, offshore
assembly.

None of my Macs were built by ******s.

Do you get away with that in the US?
Your language and thinking could get you into trouble over here.

Doing so was a good idea.

Saying so is debatable.

Reposting the garbage on all four newsgroups was a bad idea.

Yes. The U.S. Constitution guarantees freedom of speech. That means that
even assholes get to say what they think. In balance, I think it's best.

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."

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.
