"We don't make anything in this country anymore." This phrase has been uttered over and over, so many times people accept it as reality. But the truth is America still retains its status as the largest manufacturing country in the world. A status the USA has held since World War II.

One of the products that are still made in the USA are computers. People may find this surprising since many consumer electronics are made overseas. But there are still American companies producing desktops and laptops in American factories. Some of the large computer companies produce some of their product lines here, but it can be hard to find out which models are American made and which ones are foreign. Fortunately, there are many smaller companies that produce all their models in this country.

Buying from a smaller manufacturer has several benefits. Small companies tend to do their technical and customer sales support in-house. That's right, if you need to talk someone abou t your computer, its likely you'll get a knowledgeable person based in the United Sates on the other side of the phone. Also, smaller computer companies don't usually bloat your new computer with all kinds of trial software and spyware. Finally a smaller company will often have more interesting computer styles and configurations, and they will often provide a greater array of customizations.

Another misconception is that American made products are much more expensive then their foreign counterparts. This is certainly not the case with all products. Many smaller manufacturers can compete on price by not having large advertising budgets or having to pay to ship products halfway around the globe. Some are also able to provide longer warranties and perks like lifetime technical support.

While you can buy computers made in the USA, it is likely they will contain some foreign components. With our globalized economy, computer parts are made all over the world. A laptop made in America will likely have American and foreign components, just as a desktop made in China will likely have some American made components. Many CPUs, the brains of computer, are made in high-tech manufacturing facilities in the United States.

Buying American can be a rewarding experience. While you should never by an inferior product just because its American made, when you do find quality products made in the USA, it can be quite satisfying. Especially now with high unemployment and a struggling economy.

Question by tki6008: Will a Region Code 2 Formatted DVD play on a Dual Layer on a USA computer? We're planning on purchasing Region 2 and 3 DVD's from oversea, like Japan. We like to know if they could be played on regular USA desktop computer with Dual Layer? Best answer for Will a Region Code 2 Formatted DVD play on a Dual Layer on a USA computer?:

Answer by Azrael
First you need to disable the region limiter of the dvd-rom. Google for a new firmware without it, i don't know your unit so i can't recommend one.

Answer by fader1000101
You need Region Free firmware for your DVD drive.

Answer by Andy T
If and only if the DVD drive that it play on is brand spanking new, that way the drive's BIOS is not used nor locked to a region; you have 5 plays before it locks up to the region of last play.

Answer by d
yes it will play. just change the region in your computer. i have windows xp and it lets me change the region. try that to see if you can play them. also i have a dual layer and the different region dvds work.

Answer by David L
You need Region Free firmware for your DVD drive.

Answer by PaulPh
If you want to change the region on your DVD drive you normally can only do this 5 or 6 times before the drive locks and stops you chan ging it again. You'll need to a do a Firmware flash with the appropriate region 0 firmware. Follow the instructions carefully and make sure you use the EXACT firmware for your drive model or it's likely that your drive will be damaged.
