My sister worked for them in the early 80's, and still complains about their lack of care and exploitation to this day....
I sure hate the idea of any company doing this anywhere, but being based here in the Seattle area (Bellevue), Nintendo make's it a slightly tougher pill to swallow. Thanks Cal

Ty for info Cal. Have wondered how this all stacked up.

Right there with you on this one Ellen. . .Nintendo headquarters is a hop skip and a jump across the valley [Nintendo is next door to Microsoft ...very cozy] ...one of Nintendo's assembly locations is also close by. .nestled right up against the trees of a protected greenbelt and wetland! Crazy-crazio world. . .
