ED, I did not miss "coding". Your main point was that coding can be done anywhere. I agreed with that. That is not even in the discussion. Coding has been subbed for as long as I can remember( 25+ years). I have used "contract" programmers thousands of miles away in the early 70's. They had similar systems with same OS and compiler. They were online to my system to upload progs as completed (some also on tape). They could have been in Ankara, Turkey or Tokyo, Japan. Local support, some local marketing, and packaging may be done within the local market area. IMO the rest of jobs likely to stay home. Even Boeing has not built a complete jetliner in Seattle for quite some time. SubAssemblies come to Boeing from worldwide suppliers. Software really not that different... a lot less complicated. RW
