Which is why we have to change over to totally automated systems. The advantage of the Asians is in cheap manpower. A computer is the only thing that can compete with that. Instead we get a million management gimmicks trying to lower manpower costs within a given existing system. If that doesn't work, we ship the process over seas. We need to change our thinking or our tax laws to encourage developing automated systems here that negate the labor advantage. Are you seeing much of an impact in automated systems in the machine shop area?
