Made in the USA

I pruned even more irrelevant posts. If I missed some that should have been pruned, please PM me. I thought this would be common sense, but then I remembered something H. L. Mencken said.

And that was???

Marriage is a wonderful institution, but who would want to live in an institution.

This reminds me of some advice I got from an early mentor in my business; "when the customer says he is interested in building a relationship, be sure to remember that Master-Slave is a relationship".

I was using my little "Texas Instruments TI-1766, solar and light powered electronic calculator" a few minutes ago when I thought of this thread and thought maybe my old calculator might have been made in the USA. It's only a bit over 25 years old. I bought it on 6/19/1984 for $12.67, including tax. But when I looked at the back of it, it says made in Japan. Even the little manual that I probably hadn't looked at in over 20 years says Printed in Japan on the back.

I just read in the paper recently that the electronic ink that allowed for the development of these new reader devices ..the Kindle...Sony Reader was developed just outside of Boston by a company E-ink but the devices themselves are being produced in Taiwan because no one here makes the display screens.

Derek got it half right.
I always heard that Love is blind and marriage is an institution, Therefore I'm living in an institution for the blind.

... But if I know there is a quality product made here, I will pay a little more or go out of my way to purchase it.

Same goes for me.
On a similar note, I'llbuy from the the local hardware, auto parts or small engine shop first; especially because they try to give me the best deal they can knowing I'm a regular customer.

I think my HP12C was made in the USA. the back is so worn I can't read it anymore. The HP problem solving guide says "Printed in USA."

Now about that marriage is an institution--I don't remember reading that in the Bible. I do remember reading to love my wife like Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for it. So it's good to be wise about who a person picks as a wife. Mine is definitely USA.
