It matters not that all the parts of a widgit are made in Sri Lanka, if it is assembled in the USA, and the value of the highly paid american workers is more than that of the more poorly paid Sri Lankan workers (who probably put a lot more hours into it), it is classed as "Made in USA". Same with Canada, Britain, Italy etc. < ============================================================= David -- Then if this is true, the early "R" cameras that were marked "made in Portugal" with both the name Leica & Leitz on them, were actually made by Portugese workers and in Portugal?
