Doesn't it seem like every time things are going ok something happens? It does to me. About a month ago my gaming computer took a voltage spike and zapped the mother board, even though I use good surge protectors. (major bummer as this is a custom built high end computer.) So I have been using a secondary computer.( this none is no slouch computer either) Well last night when I got home and turned it on I got no video signal. I tried several new video cards and switched monitors ect, no go. So now I am reduced to using one of my lap tops. (I hate laptops and this one has vista on it and I hate it even more) Any way now I gotta go computer parts shopping so I can rebuild two new computers. And it ain't gonna be cheap.  Roy |

The motherboards in these two computers were made in Taiwan. The first one is about 1 year old and the second is about 5 years old. So it was time to upgrade anyway. I have a laptop I bought in 98 and it still works. That is the one I use to tune my efi system because it has serial ports, newer computers don't have them anymore. This particular laptop I am using now had a broken screen and was only about 6 months old. I bought it cheap and replaced the screen. Roy |

Interesting comments about Chinese computers, not sure how true these failing product comments are.
IBM had many years of designing and building computers and producing software for them. Then, as US costs kept growing, IBM decided to refocus its efforts and arranged for a Chinese company to take over the designs and build of the computers. For a period of years they worked together but I think now the Chinese company is on its own. It has been near 10 years now and Lenovo was the Chinese company.
Are Chinese products really that bad as some think?
At one time everybody said bad things about the Japanese cars.

I saw a video in which a smart alec in a Mercedes kept honking at an old lady. Wait, watch a Chinese handbag in action.
Imagine what she could do to a cheap, old Yamaha Morphous.
