actually IBM has been using Apples for a while - my last MacBook Pro and iPad were both purchased from IBM's reconditioned store - where their employee's old tech gets refurbished and then resold to other IBM employees (or their friends). Latest buy - MacBook Pro - quad core i7, 750 gb drive, 16 gb memory 15.4", 18 months old - under $700 - guaranteed for a year. It's good to know IBM employees... smile
