You go, Uncle Sam!

The potential Homeland Security issues of selling the IBM PSD to a company 
partially owned by the People's Republic of China are definitely worthy of 
concern.

Maybe Apple might come in as a White Knight now. They'd certainly be a more 
appropriate company, and one more likely to maintain the quality level of the 
ThinkPad brand.

Certainly there are many folks who would want one-stop-shopping for their 
business. If you could go to an Apple Store and not only order Macs but x86 
machines running Linux and or Windows, I am sure that they'd get a lot more 
business clients.

Take care,
Michelle
