I forget now what electronic device it was, but one device I opened up
was marked "Made in USA" on the outside while the only thing in the case
was a PC board marked "Made in China." Was only the case made in the
USA? Was final assembly (does that mean "made"?) in the USA? Was only
the board itself made in China, but it was populated and mounted in the
case in the USA? What do the markings mean any more?
