  Maybe they'll outsource development to Aramonk...
Well, IBM has succeeded in selling off its PC business. "End of an era" would sound appropriate if only Dell hadn't ended it for them years ago. Still, the Thinkpads with built-in biometrics are pretty cool machines. What's really amazing is that Lenovo gets to use the name for 5 years and how little they paid for it. Old Tom Watson can't be too pleased with that. I'm not sure selling off the good products and keeping the (in my experience) crummy services is a good long-term strategy.
