U.S. Approves IBM/Lenovo Sale

Posted by timothy on from the nipple-mouse-now-unamerican dept.

MartinB writes with the "Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) review result: unanimous approval for the sale to go ahead, with no further external approvals needed. No compromises were required over the location of Lenovo facilities in sensitive research areas, nor were limits put on Lenovo's ability to sell PCs to U.S. agencies."

    The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) approved the sale of Slashdot to Elbonian investors. New color schemes will be in earth tones. "Yes, different colors of mud!", stated one of the eventual new managers of the enterprise.

    Much as I liked the Dragon, I don't think there's much space for a 6809 based Tandy CoCo clone in 2005 even if, with substantial upgrades, it can run OS-9 (no, not Mac OS 9, the multitasking thing.)
