    Thanks Jean,I am not really into birthdays any more but I tolerate

   On another note I see where some Wormies may go UP in cost.   
   They are going to manfacture some in the US with it's higher labor   
   costs.

   Apple CEO Tim Cook made news today by confirming that the company will   
   begin manufacturing one line of its existing Macs in the United States,   
   following speculation fuelled by "Assembled in the USA" labels noticed   
   on some of the new 21-inch iMacs.   
      
   Cook had spearheaded Apple's decision to move its manufacturing to China   
   when he joined the company in 1998 as senior vice president for   
   Worldwide Operations. Recently, Apple has been criticized for partnering   
   with the Chinese company Foxcomm and therefore tacitly accepting poor   
   working conditions.   
      
   Speaking exclusively with Business Week magazine and on NBC's Rock   
   Center with Brian Williams Cook also said Apple intends to spend more   
   than $100 million in 2013 on the initiative. Since Apple has over $100   
   billion in cash, the decision is unlikely to concern the company's   
   financial outlook.   
      
   Cook also made a point of saying that Apple is building a new   
   headquarters in Cupertino, California, and a new campus in Austin,   
   Texas, and that it is building new data centers in Nevada and Oregon   
   while enlarging its North Carolina facility.
