I was going to try for tomorrow but I may have a conflict (Wife's doctors appt. for our expecting baby). Are you in the office tomorrow in case I can make it over to Belvoir?
Is there currently anything you are working on that we can provide some assistance with?
From a <a href="http://www.enet.com.cn/cio/inforcenter/S4641_20050429412496.html" target="_blank" >IBM </A>perspective, and please do not think I'm throwing stones. As you know Lenovo is a Chinese government owned company that recently purchased IBM's desktop/notebook business. While the US government has given its stamp of approval (no US secrets are in jeopardy) to continue to purchase these units people must understand that every dollar they spend on these IBM systems is directly supporting/funding the Chinese government.
Just something to think about.

TOM--Understand you're not tossing stones but curious how do you know that every penny spent from IBM supports the Chinese govt? Can you prove this?

Danny,
No proof at all on my end except extensive reading and discussions with my peers. IBM's desktop and notebook business has been sold to Lenovo, which is a state sponsored/owned company. Some of my Army customers take issue with this so makes for interesting conversation. If I happen to see any interesting articles I will forward over to you.
With the added "rugged features" to our D610/D810 we are seeing a lot stronger interest in the C3T Programs. Combine this with our support infrastructure in Theater it does make a very compelling story.
Thanks and please do not hesitate to contact me if there is anything that I can assist with.

TOM--In interfacing with my counterparts from various companines, I can honestly say that the discussion of Lenovo being a Chinese company doesn't come up. It's funny because the only people who make it an issue is Dell, which makes Dell appear sleazy. I've never heard anything from my contacts at Panasonic, MicronPC, Gateway or any of the other companies.
Just wanted to share some comments:
95% of Dell's first stage manufacturing of notebooks (shells) is completed in China.
Dell does not do any of its notebook design and relies completely on Taiwan ODMs (Original Design Manufacturers).
Take a look at the attached presentation. Dell does not even do their own design.</P> 作者: 飞翔的蜗牛 时间: 2005-6-6 13:02
