Well maybe those destined for the NSA. If I was running the CIA or NSA, I
sure wouldn't use off shore computers.


Where are you going to buy them? NO ONE IN THE UNITED STATES MAKES
ALL THE REQUIRED PARTS. They haven't for decades. Even IBM and DEC used
foreign made parts in their computers. IBM owned factories in Malaysa
and other out of the way places that didn't have the strict regulations,
like the EPA in the United States.

The cheerful slave labor (typically young Muslim girls who they put up
in dorms and supply with chaperones in places like Penang) is probably
a lot more of a draw than any apparent laxness of environmental
regulations.
