1. Shocking! (eom)

[pointless]

2. Lenovo

Chinese company Lenovo recently bought IBM.

Hello everybody! What a first post huh? :)

[TahitiNut]

3. Lenovo bought IBM's PC business only.

Welcome to DU. :hi:

[pointless]

5. oh

I didn't know it was just the pc side. Guess I should pay better attention.

appreciate the welcome
:hi:

[Beaver Tail]

4. Correction on that

IBM's PC Division was bought by Lenovo

[Tux]

6. Hmmm

Layoff 13,000 in US and Europe. Hire 14,000 in India. One less company for me to mess with. Bush did say Americans are working.....on unemployment forms.

[Double T]

7. IBM products fell off my brand names to purchase list....

with the Lenovo deal. This only confirms that my decision was right. IBM now joins the ranks with Walmart, congratulations big blue!!!

8. Total salary expenditure - $12.75

and change.

But the employees have to pay 100 percent of their health care costs . . .

9. How about boycotting ALL foreign goods also such as...

Japanese, Korean, German cars, All made in China goods, etc. etc.

Every time you buy one of above, good jobs are lost in the US.

My point is it is not just the export of white collar jobs hurts,
but also loss of higher paying manufacturing jobs in the USA.

11. I need someone to buy my Chevy Camaro Z28!!!

Damn thing was made in CANADA! Heartbeat of America????

Buy a Honda/Toyota, they atleast they make cars HERE in the USofA.

:sarcasm:

[Dem4now]

13. :-) I said MADE in foreign countries, did not quote any BRAND names

But there is a slight discrepancy in your stating that
Honda/Toyota's are made in the USA. They are ASSEMBLED
in the USA. A significant portion of the parts going into
those cars are imported. They assemble it here to avoid
paying import duties and tariffs.

10. oh yes, thats hilarious! So many people losing their jobs!

and my sister is one of them.

12. I would join your boycott, but I have not bought from them in years

So sorry, wish I could help. But I figured out a long time ago they were useless.
