I'm new to this list, and a novice when it comes to clay arts, but I do know
computers. I've been dinking with PC's since 1988. I've set up, upgraded,
and been the PC troubleshooter nearly everywhere I've worked. For the last
seven or eight years I've used Dell computers exclusively at work (convinced
two companies I worked for to switch to Dell), and home. I'm talking dozens
of computers, not hundreds, but in all these PC's (probably 60 or so) I've
never had one fail. Not one. I would only buy Dells at work or home. My
current Dell is over four years old, and even though I'd like to get a nice
shiney new one, it's hard to justify when the one I have works so well.

My son works for Dell, he has a lot to do with the overseas parts of
Dell. Most big companies now are multi-national in their dealings. MOST
computers are made with at least some parts from outside the U. S. in
fact I would like to know the name of just ONE brand that is completely
made in the U.S. with U.S. parts. So when this came up, I asked him for
his take on it. His reply is below.

Dell computers are not all made overseas. All of our
desktops are made right here in Texas. In fact, I
believe that we are the only major computer
manufacturer that still manufactures computers in the
US--I believe that the other major manufacturers even
have their desktops manufactured in Asia.
Much of the value of a computer comes back to the US,
even on computers sold outside of the US--Intel and
Microsoft are probably the two largest suppliers, in
dollar terms, on any box.
Also, the real shift is to Asia, not Mexico--Nafta
isn't really the relevant issue.
