Hungry tiger, dancing elephant

#1 Post by noetus » Tue Apr 10, 2007 12:44 am

The current issue of the Economist magazine has a special report on "IBM and Globalisation" called "Hungry tiger, dancing elephant" which discusses the sale to Lenovo, among other things.

i'm not 100% sure, but if the article is available on a unpaid subscriber page, it should be copyable, with attribution, to a non-commercial educational environment like this forum..

sounds like fair use to me.. :)

but i will leave it to the moderator who is watching this thread to make the final decision..
