"Intel - the first PC was designed in Israel."
You mean, the first Intel *CPU* (the i8088) used in IBM PCs was designed in Israel. The first IBM PC was designed in Clearwater, Florida, and it was definitely NOT the first personal computer.
But Israel has been a high-tech center for a long time. They've got acknowledged and respected aerospace, missile, and other high-tech, advanced weapon and defense designs, and are the home of some of the world's best computer security companies.
That's quite interesting about USB drives and Intel.

This was literally my USB drive! Same model, same manufacturer but in 8GB variant. You got my attention by that :D
The 8088 processor was designed in Israel, not the personal computer. However, Intel still does a lot of its chip designs in Haifa and Tel Aviv.
I'd hope so... i mean... i graduated college in the shit... lol
What are you... some Israel fanatic here... Let me guess... Israel is the best
If it was made in Mexico we'd have to pay a %20 tax on it now thanks to Drumpf.
As long as it's not made in China, I don't care where else.
coolio
