That is not a myth. That is an actual story. The company was Asustek and they started making boards from Dell.
I myself purchased multiple Asustek boards when I used to assemble my own PC’s
Dell was suprised the day Asus computers started selling at Best Buy
I doubt it - Asus computers have been available in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and China for nearly a decade - well before they started selling in Best Buy. Asus is a household name in most of Asia, and has been for a long time.
Could not recall the name of the company and was too lazy to look it all up. Thanks for the clarification.
Of course, someone on this board does not think this is a problem at all. Seems to be something about not understanding the metaphor or that anything taken too excess is not a good thing.
I’m all for free enterprise and all that good stuff but poking myself in the eye with a sharp stick and then figuring out later that it does damage is just stupid.
I understand change is what makes things go and that competition is useful. I guess I’m just too much of a flag waver to be willing to see our jobs go away without some other path to follow.

And now there are thousands of consumers and new businesses that benefit from the lower cost commodity product they can use to build their business. The Dells and HPs and Sonys of the world now compete to add more functionality and capability for a given price, allowing new business to grow and thrive.
A stagnant economy is a dead economy. Turmoil breeds growth.
