    More late breaking news: The new models from the combined companies will be called Cow-pies.

    Sort of reminds me of when NEC and Packard Bell combined some years back. That generated a lot of pc tech support workload for me.

    Nice to know we have people in high places bringing us job security into the future.
    If it's true that wherever you go, there you are: how come so many people look lost?

    Hi there,

    Both companies are crap. All it does it's making a bigger pack of crap.

    Of course it will be a good excuse to withdraw any semblance of support for all the crap they produced in the past.

    They had support? I thought the only thing they supported was british telecom and the directors wallets.
