Mike, let's not forget that Bell Labs invented the transistor and Texas Instruments the IC. The US politicians have sold out the american worker - IMO the US should not have permitted unreciprocated free access to our markets and technology. Many firms used to let the japanese tour our plants but they don't let you anywhere near their plants. we should consider it our patriotic duty to try to buy American where we can even if it is less than perfect because if we cannot be a strong nation without a strong manufacturing base. In addition, the loss of manufacturing jobs contributes to social unrest due to diminished economic opportunities. Although some may feel it does not affect us directly it affects us all indirectly. Part of the success of the Japanese is rooted in their patriotism and selflessness. As Americans we should all strive to be a little less selfish and a little more patriotic and buy American. Mike
