I think it's funny how all this china pos recall stuff is hitting the news like it's all new news. Phht, I've known of chinese junk for many years, which is exactly why I've always gone out of my way to buy American whenever possible.

btw I'm typing this on my American made Apple/Mac PowerBook.

I think I heard something about that a while ago, unless it's a new one. I didn't actually read the article. I've known about the chinese junk for a while, but lately I'm really starting to go out of my way to avoid it.

Nothing in there about NANKANG - that's the one I'm watching for. It might be the parent company though.

(?)

What the heck am I thinking - the CHINESE GOVERNMENT is the parent company!!!

I read last week that the Chinese government is making gentle threats to destabilize
our currency if our government takes action on these recent product quality fiascoes.
