mikemuch writes "Reporter Mark Hachman recently took a tour of a motherboard manufacturing facility operated by Gigabyte in Taiwan, and has posted a complete slideshow of the process. He was surprised by how much still had to be done by hand, but the company is still able to produce 1.5 million motherboards a month."

    "Well, first the grandfatherboard and the grandmotherboard have to love each other very much. And then they have a very special cuddle, and the grandfatherboard puts his pin into the grandmotherboard's socket, and then there's a motherboard."

      And then the motherboard meets a fatherboard, and the result is a board.

      I'm fairly certain it will be a daughterboard.
      In China, these daughterboards are discarded. The sonboards are the desired product.

    Technically speaking, the result is a Baby ATX....only later does it grow up to become a full-grown motherboard.

    This made me chuckle-
    1. Be more responsible
