And your money still stinks, keep it up north ya dirty canuck.

reply to Roop
Actually you want to keep your dollar lower then ours.

This means US dollars flow into the Canadain economy. If you dollar is higher then ours, your dollar will flow into ours.

Why do you think China purposely peg the Yuan, to always be a % lower then the US Dollar. It gives them an economic advantage....

Ok, but what do Hicks from Arkansas know about Dell Pc's?
You first need an EDUCATED work force before you can turn things around.. After Clinton left for New York it was ALL down hill from there.. (Maybe that's why they hate him so much)

My best guess if you want to outsource to rural areas, Pennsylvania would do much better, a lot more educated people up there, IMHO. Need I say they voted the right way in the election too

My take on the election was two fold, Bush won by stirring up a hornets nest with Social Values, and buying the Hispanic vote (notice we may have a Hispanic Attorney General- payback time-- No one would have thought we'd get a Hispacnic attorney general.. but Oh well, break those glass ceilings where it won't cost you politically I guess)
The only thing the south is known for is dirty (and in a way smart politial tactics)Not customer service jobs...
maybe they can continue to process coal and tobacco for a few more years..

Ah, but an educated work force tends to drive up costs, you see. Ultimately, what employers are looking for is a relatively low-to-mid educated workforce, and as jobs become more available in that area (due to costs and such) more individuals go there to get the jobs, or more people become educated on the subject. Thus, technology becomes more extensive in that area... In the end, providing the job there, will make the job more expensive to put there (eventually) but will improve the area by putting in Money, Jobs, and Educational incentive. Utilizing the price system to motivate economic growth is time consuming, but well worth it... after all, if not for that same process some thirty+ years ago, much of "Silicon valley" would still be farmlands... though, you can't really eat silicon...

Being a resident of the area, Northwest Arkansas is a vastly improving and expanding community with a wider and wider technology base every time I look. Being in the area I am in, there is a research University where a lot of our innovations are being put to use in modern and super modern machinery and technology. Also, the cost of living here is roughly half of that of the U.S. on average. This will keep the costs of companies willing to invest in this area very low, as the demands for salary are not as great for employees.

And yes, there are still some slack-jawed yokels in the area, but by far, they are the minority these days. ;>
