Brian, My thoughts were of two things. First I thought we were talking about mainland China as we in this country, along with everyone on this planet and the moon, are rushing in to help because there is no business for this type development here or anywhere else.. Second, America was mostly responsible for industrial and technical development in Japan after the war then they spread the stuff all over Asia after that as Korea, Singapore, Taiwan (with our help), etc. If I owe Wee Mei an apology, so be it. I aplolgize. Thank you Brian, Earl --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
