50g

I suppose free trade and open markets have meaning only when it is advantageous 
to America. Mr Teague, wake up to the new flat world! 

I find the 50g made in China or Singapore no less in quality than the 48g+ made in 
USA. HP's quality control is still legendary. By going global HP has contained the cost 
and increased profitability. I see nothing wrong with that.
