At least it means they tested their product before shipping it, and actually plugged it into a PC to see if it works.

If you want to have fun, run a deleted file recovery utility on a new computer, new hard disk, or new photo frame thing, and see what you find. Some computers sold as new are actually refurbs.
 
I did what oilyriser said to a new computer about 9 months ago. Half of the junk I found I had no clue as to what it was. My cousin who is a computer programmer was in town, looked at it and said, where did you buy that flea infested piece of junk.

It was a brand new unit from Circuit City. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

For a moment I thought it was someone who had had a good time with the girls you meet in Chinese bars.
 
My family is Chinese (not from China) and we cringe everytime we have to buy something and it's made in China. But it is so hard to avoid.

You have my sympathies. There are some really nice Chinese folks, I had the good fortune to know a few.

My opinion on Chinese products has nothing to do with Chinese people.
