They could offer to buy Tandy and revive it's long-deceased "computer" business. It might take the powers of the Umbrella Corporation to do THAT MUCH, though...LOL

You are only displaying how ignorant you are to the entire world with these posts. Bottom of the barrel? Not in Europe my friend, or did you MISS reading that in the ARTICLE? You are making me laugh at this post! How well do you think your Dell sells in Europe? Now thats FUNNY! Asia, Europe (you know the OTHER parts of the world that make up the largest world-wide POPULATION?). I'm American, and I know that! 'Methinks more education is in your future.
I agree
