re: What I would like to know is, does Dell have a similar operation, or do all the computers get shipped from the USA No, all computers do not get shipped from the USA. The Company operates manufacturing facilities in Austin, Texas; Limerick, Ireland; and Penang, Malaysia. During fiscal 1998, the Company opened an additional manufacturing facility in Austin to produce OptiPlex desktop systems for the Americas region. Since the end of fiscal 1998, the Company has announced plans to acquire an additional manufacturing facility in Limerick, Ireland and to construct an additional manufacturing facility in Austin, Texas and a manufacturing facility in Xiamen, China. The Company's products are currently sold in more than 170 countries worldwide. The Company has organized its worldwide operations into geographic regions to support its customers in each area through regional business units. The Americas region, which is based in Round Rock, Texas, covers the United States, Canada and Latin America. The European region, which is based in Bracknell, England, covers the European countries and also some countries in the Middle East and Africa. The Asia-Pacific/Japan region covers the Far East, including Japan, Australia and New Zealand, and is based in Hong Kong (for areas other than Japan) and Kawasaki, Japan (for Japan). During fiscal 1998, the Company continued to strengthen its presence in the Asia-Pacific area, where it now has direct-to-the-customer operations in eleven countries. In addition, since the end of fiscal 1998, the Company has announced that it will establish a customer center in China to produce, sell and provide service and technical support for the Company's full range of computer systems in that market. The Company expects to begin operations from the China Customer Center later this year. Hope this answers your question. MEATHEAD
