FYI, IBM is now advertising Linux in the US, nationwide, during football games. They use a picture of a small blonde kid, probably like Linus in kindergarten, implying the "new kid in town". Not too bad.
OTOH, I note an Intel spokesmen who states; "We have no special obligation to American workers...", when asked about its latest movement of Engineering out of the United States. I suggest we use AMD instead, since the uP was first developed with US taxpayer's funds to support both ICBM and Apollo moon-shot technology, these companies certainly should certainly remember their roots.
Note that this is not an "America only" problem. The bean-counters world-wide are moving technology and jobs from the civilized countries to those that aren't required to provide toilet paper for employees. This improves profits by eliminating the cost of toilet paper.
Cheers, Dick Johnson Penguin : Linux version 2.4.22 on an i686 machine (797.90 BogoMips). Note 96.31% of all statistics are fiction.
