customers that it doesn’t support the Chinese Communist Party (via the
(possibly firewalled?) Bingfeng):

　　Xxxxx，
　
　I was going to try for tomorrow but I may have a conflict (Wife’s
doctors appt. for our expecting baby). Are you in the office tomorrow
in case I can make it over to Belvoir?
　　Is there currently anything you are working on that we can provide some assistance with?
　
　From a IBM perspective, and please do not think I’m throwing stones.
As you know Lenovo is a Chinese government owned company that recently
purchased IBM’s desktop/notebook business. While the US government has
given its stamp of approval (no US secrets are in jeopardy) to continue
to purchase these units people must understand that every dollar they
spend on these IBM systems is directly supporting/funding the Chinese
government.
　　Just something to think about.
　　Chris
