No Judgement here, just clarification:

- When I started this post, in intentionally did not use the word "quality". In every society, there are hard-workers, and lazy #$@, good designs and poor, accuracy and shortcuts.

- The Japanese are adamant about the rice imports, because of historical roots. At one time, their unit of currency was "koku"...the amount rice required to feed a man for one year. No judgement, just accuracy.

- The Dell deal only applies to business accounts. The customer service for consumers will continue to be handled in India.

I'm still finding this an entertaining discussion...thanks!
