Taiwan's Symbol of Excellence
The place I grew up. Nobody would imagine Taiwan can catch the wave of PC revolution and become a "Silicon Island" twenty years ago (Of course, there was no PC back then.)
Taiwan was the # 1 maker of the following products in the world in 1997.
| Product | Total Volume in Millions | % of world production |
| Case | 53.7 | 75% |
| Scanner | 9.5 | 71% |
| Power Supply | 50.4 | 63% |
| Mouse | 50.5 | 63% |
| Keyboard | 50.7 | 63% |
| Motherboard | 43.5 | 61% |
| Monitor | 40.6 | 55% |
| Hub | 2.8 | 50% |
| Modem | 17.3 | 48% |
| Graphic Card | 14.5 | 44% |
* Taiwan also produced 4.5 million notebook computers in the same year. It made up about 30% of the world production and Taiwan the No. 2 maker of the world.
WAY TO GO, TAIWAN. BUT REMEMBER, QUALITY IS ALSO IMPORTANT.
