I will believe it, when I see it. NNN |

Dell has long been a big believer in outsourcing significant parts of their business, despite what they occasionally say in the media. FWIW they're hardly alone. There are VERY few companies left that actually build PCs, most of the major OEMs have outsourced production to a handful of Chinese and/or Taiwanese companies. Hon Hai (aka Foxconn), Quanta and Arima are three of the biggest ones (the latter two focusing more on notebooks). ------------- Tony Hill hilla underscore 20 at yahoo dot ca |

Maybe I was maintaining some shred of denial...but I honestly thought Dell actually had some lab coats still on staff to *design* the product. I was under no such illusions about product delivery, however, as even niche tech companies such as the one I work for off-shored or out-sourced production many years ago... |

Most companies of appreciable size out-source some. But many, like mine, still do the newer, higher-margin stuff here... |
