John, what you're saying is that it's a push. We're dealing with an international product priced in US$. Assembly costs are in depreciated local currencies in most cases, component costs may often be in US$, sales prices are in $US. The advantage goes (temporarily - these things always balance out) to the company with the highest local mix, whether its head office happens to be in california or seoul. There is no special advantage or disadvantage to being a Korean company or whatever. It's your cost mix that counts.
