I used to work for that company (IBM) and their reasearch centers are world class. I remember reading the company newlsetter and seeing all the cool stuff that we would come out with. Too bad IBM could never really translate the research stuff into a good commercial product with a good price.

 

Didn't JVC invent the VCR? a Japanese company.

 

Actually I think it was Ampex (I think), but that doesn't excuse ignorance towrd the other members of the board.

In the words of John Lennon....Imagine there's no countries.
If that were true think how many wars would never happen.

 

Trojanhorse, I know it is not all of you Yanks. In fact I have a great number of American friends here in Tokyo, all of whom I find to have a wordly view. (They must have if they are working abroad).

Just for you ElTianti:

4 Reasons why America suck......

Oprah (get a life!!)
Pearl Harbour (the film) (wosre than Armageddon!!)
Plymouth Prowler (WTF is that?!?!?!?)
WWF (holy shit - do you yanks REALLY like that?!?!?!?!)

Have a nice day y'all........

 

my humble opinion...

America is the best because it is a combination of everyone else.

 

Amen...but also the worst...

 

I guess that would depend on whether you took the BEST of the rest or the WORST of the rest....

 

as with every society, there are the good, the bad, and the ugly.

i'm somewhere in between them all, but if you ask my wife, i'm the hottest thing there is since Takenouchi Yutaka
