Yes, Mexico still has a lot of issues.....Company I am with now tried doing
PCB stuffing there with poor success.
Went to LG in Korea & very happy...just a bit pricy....But you get what you
pay for....

Hi Terry,
Mexico... They have been trying to manufacture in Mexico for years... with
very mixed results... I remember when I was at ACDC Electronics they had a
'Mequilladora' in Tijuana. They lost a whole truck load of transformers.
Weeks later the police found the truck in the desert abandoned... They
figured that the illegals had hijacked the truck to get across the border
and dumped the truck when they got to where they were headed. Mexico is a
very corrupt place.
China scares me more than Mexico. Our companies are falling all over
themselves to get into China... I think they are at great risk. But we shall
see.

It is happening....slowly perhaps....but it is happening...
Wait till Mexico gets its standards up-to-speed.....
How about China ??? Now there is mass volume of people, market & demand
there also....

Bill;
So do we educated the world to design are electronics and give them our
intellectual property so they can have all are engineering jobs along
with the manufacture base just because they have a lower standard of
living and will work cheaper????
Inquiring minds want to know??

Do I detect a slight hint of sarcasm Indrek? :) (BTW, Where is
Estonia?)
"Hmmm, no educating those peasants now... wouldn't want to give them any
IDEAS in their little 'mutton heads'..." says the noble to the castle
guard...
Sounds like England during the reign of King George... Didn't our
American ancestors leave there because of the disparity of those who
have verses those to have not... I think even feeding your family by
hunting deer in the local forest was a crime... All things belonged to
the King... especially access to knowledge.
America's best defense is an educated populace, armed with knowledge and
the means to protect its free dissemination to all citizens. Lord help
the fool that invades this ARMED, and EDUCATED country...
(That's why when they reduce access to education, they want to take all
your weapons away... can you imagine an ARMED 'UNEDUCATED' nation? I'm
sure it makes the elite very nervous...)
Of course those that would have power over us would prefer to do it
slyly without our knowledge... its less likely we would know who to
retaliate against when they stole our freedoms...
But that's really not a fundamentally PCB related subject... just one I
feel passionate about as well. I believe that educational materials need
to be made available to the people of this country at very reasonable
cost and ease of access... it's a source of strength to our country and
our friends. And you may notice that Designers Council members get
discounts on educational materials and events through their
membership... that's another good thing...

Almost as bad idea as giving free (governmentally funded) education to
people. Including higher education. What would they think? Poor people
may get educated! People would not quit study towards their physics
degrees just because they have no money, thou they are better then
anyone else in the area. What a ridiculous idea! What will country do
with it's people when they are not attached to 6 hours of soap operas on
TV every day anymore? Whole punch of psychiatrists would also go bust.
Can't let that happen to our economy.
