I'm with you; with over 80% of AMD's business outside the U.S. one can hardly consider AMD an U.S. company. The same goes for all large international companies. Where manufacturing companies call home and where they do business or produce product are hardly ever the same. This is just a fact of life in a world with ever-more integrated economies. More and more, where a company calls home has to do with tax advantages and other things. It's not surprising that a huge number of insurance companies call the Cayman Islands home. The same could be said about manufacturing in China, etc. etc

Suppose AMD were primarily a German company, what difference would it make to you or anybody?

I never had a problem with it, I said some messages back - to me AMD is more of a German company now - the others seemed to have been bothered by my statement. Did I state it made a difference to me? Nope, it's nice to see AMD get's all that help and perks from Germany.
