The part I can figure out is why doesn't the cost of transporting all
the pieces around the world for final assembly nowhere near the pieces
place of manufacture doesn't run up the cost?


BTW. The crowds at stores like Macy's at Northlake are pretty small.
WallMart, however, is packed. That underscores the "laid off employees
don't spend lots of money" tenant.

BTW.2 WalMart has a complete PC system from HP, CPU, monitor, printer,
everything, in a box for $700. My last motherboard cost almost half that
amount. Of course that was 3 years ago and it has onboard SCSI and dual
CPU's.
