[Thinkpad] Re: I.B.M. Said to Put Its PC Business on the Market

Hard to say how this will shake out. Their desktops seem to be better
quality since they outsourced them.

Some of the existing manufacturing plants (e.g., Mexico) will remain I
suspect since the US Government won't buy machines made in non-trading
countries (we once had a Thinkpad order held up because the only ones
available didn't come from an "acceptable" manufacturing country).

Interesting that the first person to send me the article was my Dell
salesman--especially since I told him Tuesday that I only buy Thinkpads. I
can hear him salivating now. ;-)
