- I begin to understand why IBM normally don't care about "normal" PC users. As
- long as these sheep-like run after every special offer, no matter how bad they
- were treated by the company that offers before. An IBM that cares for long-term
- strategy don't care for short term consumers.
-
- This seems to me like a normal president election: the candidate that promises
- the least taxes and the best paid jobs for the most persons wins, no matter how
- much lies he told before
-
- Please try to remember how bad someone treated you before getting trapped by
- low price offers which only intense is to keep you from a company that makes
- promises come true.
