It's entirely possible... And probably likely...
The RAM is due tomorrow, the CPU Friday, so the install will come Saturday, then we test it out, and if all goes well, load the OS and apps, configure the hypervisor, and get busy with building a virtual cluster... All this in search of yet another certification...Please like and subscribe to my YouTube channel. Please check out and subscribe to my Workshop Blog.Comment

Even though I wasn't quite ready to spend the money, I went ahead and ordered SWMBO's new 15" Macbook Pro last week. Like y'all were talking about, parts are about to get harder to come by, and prices will be going up. Then again, a Macbook Pro is already too dang expensive, even after my educational employee discount!
Last time I spent nearly $2,500 on a laptop, the PII-350 was the hot processor.

Somehow, I had assumed that, because the U.S. was losing jobs overseas, we were no longer a major force in manufacturing. Then I stumbled on a chart that brightened my day.
I'm guessing that our biggest problem(?) is that we as a country are really efficient.
The fact that U.S. manufacturering can remain number one while abiding by much stricter regulation than much of the rest of the world, is testimony to the "can-do" attitude of Americans.
Also, the fact that an earthquake in a relatively tiny part of the world can cripple industries worldwide, is testimony to how 'globalized' our economies have become.You might think I haven't contributed much to the world, but a large number

I am not sure I believe that chart... Specifically the data on Korea. Automobile manufacturing in particular. Unless they are counting things like Korean companies that build stuff in the U.S. as American, then it makes sense... Hyundai sales have been growing very steadily as have prices, that alone I would think should give that number an upward shove...Please like and subscribe to my YouTube channel.

I find it believable. S Korea exports a lot of big ticket items - cars, trucks, appliances, Electronics, TV, etc. They also do a lot of heavy construction - for example some large offshore oil platforms are built in Korea that cost tens and hundreds of millions.

We are still # 1 in manufacturing, but not by much, and maybe not for much longer.

You do have to remember, that this includes, the BMW plant in SC, the Toyota plants in several states, etc. They may be owned overseas, but the production is still US production. BUT, with the recession, many plants are shut down (Like the RV plants in Indiana) and some companies are moving operations to Asia for the cheaper labor (Cross Pen Company moved theirs to China in 2007 for example).Mike
