This sucks. It's not a hoax, it's all too real.

Remember the i-series ThinkPads? The ones that Acer designed and built and IBM 
just slapped a badge on? That's where the line is headed. Nobody else is 
going to care about the ThinkPad legacy like IBM does.

Dammit, Sam Palmisano!!! Who dealt you the crack you were smoking when you 
made this decision? Darl McBride??? OMG you killed the ThinkPad! You 
bastard!!!

(Sorry, I'm a ThinkPad fangirl and this is really emotionally troubling news.)

An upset Michelle.
