OMG!

The South Koreans have discovered a cure for Wal-Mart!

We'll have to get them to sell it to us!

The advantages of living in the Heart of Dixie- low cost of living, peace and quiet and a conservative majority. For some reason I think that the first two items have a lot to do with the presence of the last one.

Just invite their brand chain here, competition is a healthy thing.  ;D

Dell and others are not gonna like it when Lenovo arrives either. Of course, if ya'll read the business news, Wal-Mart is going to sell computer components and "build it yourself" P/Cs. Best Buy, Fry's, and Dell and others will not like that either.

The U.S. government is already moving to block purchases of Lenovo computers by U.S. govenrment agencies as they don't trust a company partly owned by Chinas government not to do anything "sneaky".
