I want to take my dog boating...
 

My Logitech kb clearly says, "Made in China." Let's face it, they have to.
If it were made in the US, a $50 keyboard would cost $125. Gotta love them
unions.

I've got a Longitech keyboard ad it's at least 7 yrs old. and says
China on the back of it.

Probably. My new Microsoft keyboard, purchased from WalMart, was, in fact, make
in China. I suppose if I'd gone to a union shop the same keyboard would be made
here.

It was interesting tonight, we were looking for new dinner ware. Every time I
picked up a piece that said Made in China, I wondered what chemicals and stuff
they left in the mix... I don't even want to know.

I just looked at my wife's Cherry keyboard and it is made in Germany
... but it was about $100



I'm guessing the keyboard that accompanied the Apple iMac I got in
January was made in China. It's still in its box, though. I prefer a
no-name $30 keyboard I bought from a mail order company. There are two
things I don't like about iMacs, and the keyboard is one.

What isn't made in China? They have a working middle class larger than
the US and Canada has people in a booming and growing economy of low
debt, low taxation, low union, low entitlement with no GM/bank style
bailouts to pay for. Banks actually have a surplus and tightly managed
and audited. Makes for a low cost hightly productive environment.

Solid wood furniture. That all seems to come from Vietnam now. The
Chinese are complaining that "cheap Vietnamese labor" is stealing jobs
from them.

You think they're griping now, wait until Sri Lanka and India kick
in.....

Plus the regrowth of bamboo is phenominal.

The only good thing about that is particle board seems to be more
expensive than wood in Vietnam so the furniture is solid wood. In
Florida that is a good thong. Particle board tends to fall apart here
from the humidity. I suppose it does just about everywhere
eventually..

I always have put a premium on solid furniture. Just lasts longer. But
for the economics, do have some particle board stuff, my desk. Holds up
pretty good. But good particle board will last in humid area, just not
the cheap stuff. Much depends on the binding materials used.

Have a 200 year old solid oak 1 1/4" thick table top antique, holds up
real good. Heavy as it gets too. Will outlast me for sure.

I am not nearly adept enough to appreciate a $100 keyboard. This $20 job does me
just fine. It has a different touch than my old one, and I do like it.

WalMart carries Logitech also. I wonder if it would be OK to buy a Logitech
there?

It's not quite $100, but getting close.

Yeah, but no one's going to call you a cheap ****. Where did you buy that cheap,
made-in-China piece of garbage?

Just bought a new Logitech wireless desktop. From Walmart, as they were a
lot cheaper than Best Buy. wireless Keyboard, mouse (what I really needed)
and USB speakers. Says made in China on box. Have not used the keyboard
yet, but may need to unplug the other KB to get it to work. The mouse and
speakers work great.


I bought the Logitech Z-2300 to use as the computer sound, and I absolutely love
it. For the price, I don't think it can be beat.
