From Adam Shapiro - the news correspondent who did the piece....
"You are correct it was IBM that told us the computer was not ideal for
trading stock. Your email is not the first I have received pointing out
this error. Rest assured I will not repeat it."

Motivation
If a pretty poster and a cute saying are all it takes to motivate you,
you probably have a very easy job. The kind robots will be doing soon.

Yes, the IBM guy is the idiot that needs to be downsized in
the next group of layoffs at IBM
Wonder if we could get the name of the IBM source for that
bit of info.

Well,
The turkey that did that article for Fox is Adam Shapiro.
He's out of Fox
News in NYC. You can reach him at (212) 301-3000 I think
and I would
suggest calling him up and leaving a little voicemail
telling him just how
good of a box it is and how much he has to learn about
technology... :) :)
