A coworker just went to China for 3 weeks and I told him to get a lot of software. The problem is that because they do not have to bear the costs of software and maintenance they can charge even less. It is hurting the tech workers in the US.

I don't know what it costs in India, but you get a copy of Allegro 15.2 anywhere in China for $5.00 US I'm sure that it costs less than in the states in India. They want to do design and SI work for me at $15.00 US...How can they do that???? I just love the capitalistic way of doing business....
