How about IBM = I Been Moved
Or at least the jobs, of thousands of Americans have been moved to other
countries.
Try reading
http://www.ibmemployee.com/
and
http://www.allianceibm.org/pressconnects_com%20%2001-22-04%20%20News%20Story.htm
and
http://www.pressconnects.com/special/endicottspill/
After reading _all_ this information tell me who ibm is interested in
helping.
It isn't the people of Endicott or workers in this country.

Any type of Linux gaining market share helps all the other types of Linux and it helps get you guys better gigs. And OF COURSE IBM is all about profits...you expect them to give $5m without strings to anyone??
