Is your computer assembled in America?
Our Buy American Mention of the Week!

Electronics. Specifically, computers. Can't live without them, can't stand the frustration of trying to buy American when shopping for them. In this one large area, the challenge feels almost insurmountable.

If you want to buy a computer that wasn't made in another country, don't waste your time going to the big box stores searching for one. It's more than likely that no American workers were involved in the assembly process.

And supporting American workers involves more than just caring about which country's workers put your computer together. It's also caring about which country your customer service calls are routed to when you have a computer question, concern, or comment.

Fortunately, this challenge is not insurmountable, and shopping for a computer can now also mean buying American. That's because there's a company called Systemax (www.SystemaxPC.com); they're my source for computer systems assembled in the USA - and at great prices. And, when you call them to place an order (like I did) or ask questions about your computer (as I did) you'll talk to an American employee who not only understands your computer, but also understands you (and vice-versa).

If there's ever an instance where you need technical support, your call will also be answered in America. And even though I've never had to make one of those calls because my computer has never had a single problem, I still thought that was great news when I heard it.
