Decado, thank you for your reply, I'll try to answer your concerns.

The concern is unemployment and/or the threat thereof. The URLs in the top message seem to reinforce that. Since there are other websites "working the offshoring issues," I'll try hard to confine my query to just wanting to know the extent Apple Computer has replaced Cupertino based jobs. As a long time dedicated member of the Macintosh community, and since we are all family, I would like to know. I realize that Apple Computer is secretive. I realize I am not particularly "entitled" to know.

Not my intent. But I should have been more careful to clarify that I was only asking about Apple Computer in Cupertino and not the industry. Working a labor issue in the middle of the Macintosh community was not my intent. I will gladly do an edit delete on the top message I posted if you think I should. Please let me know.
May I squeeze in just a quick question?

I'm not trying to ask a "leading" question; were/are Apple employees (in Cupertino) working under a collective bargaining agreement (union representation)?
Or maybe other companies influenced Apple's decision (just speculation)
Again, Decado, please let me know if I should zap my top message. I don't mind doing so given that the probability is low that an Apple executive or employee will reveal any of the answers in that query. If there were some definitive numbers they probably would have already been posted. It appears that the value of the message has expired anyway.
Off Topic. Decado, I have been to Goteborg, and to Torslanda (Volvo City) a long time ago. Awesome, beautiful, what can I say?
Best wishes,
Adonsa
