Yup.  Because US made will always be solid and durable.  China is all
about disposable.  Even their own people prefer cheap disposable
products.  But here in the US, we'd prefer something that will last a
long time.  And we're willing to pay extra for it to last a long
time.  Because we know that the short term costs will always be more
in the long term (disposable manufactured items) but the expensive
short term will always lead to cheaper long term (durable
manufactured items).

 
I'd be willing to pay more for a keyboard that had the function keys
on the left, where God intended.
 
There was one brand of keyboard, North-something-or-other, that had
both.  I'd be willing to pay double for one of those.

That would be the Northgate OmniKey Ultra - typing this message out on
one right now.
