Apple sells millions of iPhones, iPads and Macintosh computers stamped "Made in China." But it wasn't always that way.

The company, which famously started out building computers in a garage in Silicon Valley, once employed thousands of Americans to build its computers in places like Texas, Colorado and California.

In light of today's news that Apple is planning to bring some production of its Mac computers to the U.S., here's a brief look at the company's history in U.S. manufacturing:

1980: Newly public Apple, gearing up for the release of the Apple II, announces plans to open a 150,000 square-foot manufacturing plant in Carrollton, Texas, and a 43,000 square-foot plant in Cork, Ireland.

1981: Apple opens a plant in Singapore to manufacture circuit boards.

1983: Apple opens a highly automated plant in Fremont, Calif., to manufacture the first Macintosh computers. It also said it would shut down a pilot factory in Cupertino, Calif., which made the Lisa computer, and move that production to Carrollton and Cork.

1985: As part of a bigger restructuring that includes 1,200 layoffs, Apple closes three of six manufacturing sites, including the Carrollton site, a site in Garden Grove, Calif., that made keyboards and mouse devices, and a small parts plant in Ireland.

1991: Apple opens a 360,000 square-foot facility in Fountain, Colo., to manufacture subassemblies and finished computers. By 1996, the site employs about 1,100 people.

1992: Apple opens a computer assembly plant in Elk Grove, Calif., moving to an area less prone to earthquakes than its plant in Fremont. The Elk Grove and Fountain plants produce most of the Apple computers sold in North America for several years.

1994: Apple announces plans to expand its manufacturing operations in Elk Grove, adding a 200,000-square foot facility to manufacture logic boards and add 300 jobs.

1996: With its sales slumping and losses mounting, Apple sells its Fountain plant to contract manufacturer SCI Systems. It marks the first time another company manufactures a large number of Apple's computers. SCI agrees to make Macs at the site for three years.

1996: As part of a reorganization, Apple also shifts circuit board assembly from its Elk Grove site to its sites in Singapore and Cork, as well as subcontractors.

1997: Apple sells some circuit board assembly assets from its Singapore plant to a Singapore contract manufacturer. The following year it sells circuit board assembly assets in Cork to the same firm.

1999: Apple cuts 400 of 1,400 jobs at its Cork manufacturing facility, which makes computers for European markets. Subcontracts production of iMacs to a plant owned by LG Electronics in Wales.

2004: Apple shuts down its last U.S. manufacturing line in Elk Grove, laying of 235 full-time workers. By this time most of Apple's manufacturing takes place at factories in China. Many are operated by subcontractor Foxconn, a unit of Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., which also assembles its iPhones and iPads.

Last year I wanted to read a hundred but I ent up only finishing 0 sop I have revised it down and doing a REEEEEE - DOOOOO )

I gave up coffee so I ate a bunch of vegetables

Literary been studying under some of the greats like Dr Jordan Peterson and Herbert Johnson ( literary one of the brilliant zoomzooms of the next generation, skibidi tolet) so I started to clean my room and even did a tub of laundry which I'm going to fold when this post is done, heard.

The sun is coming up now so I'm going to go out into the wilderness to touch grass and breath the fresh suburban air

And then I'm going to shock the body with a cold shower which I tried once a year or two ago and it literary is quite the shocker.

Also I flossed my teeth when I woke up I'm going to do floss more this year as my other resolution I just decided

I've been sperging out with coffee for a few weeks now, it doesn't get me high anymore. I drink like 8 a day and am on some reatard-non24hr-'shhedgule' where I'm awake for ~12 hours and feel zonked and tarded or stay up for 22hrs. Honesty none of it really makes any sense.

I'm on the wagon starting too day. I've started to realize more and more that I'm going to have to give up everything that I ever loved , if I ever want to win.

Testerday I started cleaning my room, as my guru Dr Jordan Peterson teaches us. One by one I will eliminate all of my little pleasures, and clean my room more and more , heard.

I was looking at that Makita, I think it's really cool. I ent up just buying a work Keurig since I pretty much always have powah
