Opportunity knocks<br>
<br>
Hard drive prices going up - Thailand+++<br>
<br>
Memory prices going up - Japan<br>
<br>
Time to open a Canadian Factory or two<br>

<br>
The problem is labour prices in Canada, actually not only Canada, all the<br>
western world.<br>
But if you do open a factory, I will be happy to help :-)<br>

Are wages too high in in the Western World or too low in the rest of the world?<br>
<br>
Would you suggest we settle for third world living and working conditions just so that we can compete successfully?</blockquote><div>Not at all, I think we can not compete in cheap manufacturing but we can compete in things that require innovation.<br>
So if someone has an innovative way to manufactures disks or memory that will have high yields, this is the way to go and I am sure there are ways to do it.<br><br>-- <br>Ori Idan<br><br></div></div></div>
