America is cutting back in technology investment. We are shipping it overseas. India and China will come to dominate the world market in technology.
Not only is IBM's pc, including thinkpads, segment going up for sale, the prospective buyer is a Chinese company that starts with L, I don't quite remember its name right now. Infact, this Chinese company got its start in the early eigties by selling IBM products!!! It's kind of sad isn't it? It's a shame we can't retain all these markets that we created in the first place. Oh well, it seems like everything is going to China. Lets just hope we can hang on to Intel and the like.
