ignace Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 That will never happen, for a few reasons: 1) The workforce is cheaper but so is the quality; 2) Different countries have different standards. US quality advertising works only in the US, US design works only for US customers; 3) Tricky to manage an offshore development team (least misinterpretation can lead to a wrong application design); 4) Logistics; 5) Trust issues; These are the few that popped in to my mind and their are probably more.

Mchl Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 You would spend more getting here than you would ever extract here We'll get it from your cars. You'd still be in the red. Also, be careful when tinkering with LPG installations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
