IBM did a great job of reinventing itself. Other companies can, too. |
Is your last name Gershner? I can't imagine anyone else would buy that crap.

I also pointed out that the Corolla is the best selling car (and actually, it is the best selling vehicle of all time, surpassing even the F150 series). |
though worldwide the Corolla is the best selling car. Technically the VW
Beetle is the best selling car ever, if you don't allow for significant
body changes over the life of the car.

However, the number of sales don't show that GM is better than Ford, any more than it shows that Toyota is better than Ford. |
sold, reliability, safety, or what?

The Camry is the best selling car in the U.S. for the past four years, though worldwide the Corolla is the best selling car.

major company in information technology services. It makes lots of money
selling software and services to other companies. When is the last time you
heard about mainframes?
Actually, it still sells mainframes and servicers (and makes money at it),
but its main product is consulting services to other businesses. Especially
software and services related to e-commerce.
Unforunately, it lost out on the PC, which it invented. It still sells
high-end workstations, too, but they are for researchers and other power
users.

My wife agrees with you. She guarantees it will be a cold day in Hell before another Ford graces our driveway. |
Graces?
You mean oil spots?

Just another fake Toyota ad. Just as phony as the metor strike on the Tacoma They somehow erased the safety tether from the add shown on TV. Sort of emblematic of the "new" Tundra (just another but "bnigger" fake). Oh What a Feeling. Moving Forward. This changes everything. Ed |
other commercials are factual and unretouched. Got it.

I do think Ford, GM and Chrysler, if it gets free of Diamler, have the possibility of being good, solid companies once again. However, they have to change their ways |
When bean counters rule the roost the company can't succeed in today's
market.
The big three seem to use computers to design pieces to just last the
warranty period.
It seems (at least to me) that Toyota designs parts to last a lot
longer than the warranty period....and when they have a problem...they
fix it.
Toyota stays in my drive way....
