I was thinking about the last post...and it occurred to me that most manufacturing entities must be taking advantage of the cheaper componentry that cheaper labor costs normally render. It seems to me that a former president, who will rename nameless, opened the world up, quite a few years ago now, to our consumer dollars, which inevitably lead to increased pressure on manufacturers -- and I assume that electronics manufacturers are right at the top of the heap in this regard. In short, I would think that every business entity involved with the manufacture and/or production of electronic equipment is under the same pressure. In the end, I suppose it comes down to who's spending their money on inspection of components and quality control, in general.
