The Next 25 years will bring nothing - I used to work for IBM scotland and it seems they are selling off all there PC and Laptop assets to other companies who in turn sack the staff tranferred from IBM and bring in lower paid workers in other contries

I have moved on from IBM now and working elsewhere

I To Worked For Ibm Since I Left Its Slowly But Surely Selling Off To Any One Interested The Plant In Greenock Will Finish Up A Big Housing Estate And Another Slum Will Be Born

So in other words, IBM is moving off abroad?
