    Why do they want to get into the PC industry?

    Ummm... No. No, I don't. Not at all.



    Why you ask?



    Well because they have yet to state any interest in the PC market and I have heard of no plans for any buyout.



    But I am not on the inside so I could be in the wrong.

    No. The PC industry doesn't have the nice profit margins G.E. is used to. I think G.E. would rather continue to improve their FInancial Services unit than get into a new market.



    Now what could happen would be a mega-merger between G.E., G.M., and IBM. The company could then be named "General."
