All those chips and boards as well as the LCD panel came from abroad.

There's no way around it. We simply don't make this stuff over here anymore.

That will come as a bit of a surprise to the folks over at Intel. And TI. And ON. And Freescale (Oh, I bet you never heard of them. Used to be this tiny little outfit named "Motorola"). Intel has the fab in AZ. TI in TX. ON in AZ. Freescale in AZ and TX (OK, FSL had a fab in Sendai Japan, but we know how that turned out).

Then there's Silicon Valley....

(Gotta at least try, nascar.)
