    Wow! Are they closing down shop? Or just going into a different business? Didn't see this coming. I figured they'd be around forever.

    It seems more likely that they will stick to services, if they do sell off the hardware production.
    Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. -Douglas Adams

    Notice that it is selling it's PC business. Which leads be to believe that it will still be marketing servers and enterpise computer solutions as well, and are simply dropping the ultra competitive, low-profit pc market.
    Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent's fate.

    I happen to think that...a thinkpad aint worth 2 billion. Allthough they aren't too bad. At least I've only had one of ours die on us. (mobo fried itself. Under warranty, we just sent it back)
    Hmmmmm.....back for a while...
