    Yeah, I know it isn't nice to judge, but a gypsy (SP?) women stole my wallet when I went for a Sufi (Muslim) conference in Georgia. Had $400 bucks in there...

    uh

    the article leaves out a lot of stuff. it wasnt a german division of ibm that had close ties to the nazi party, it was the polish division of ibm..or at least what then became ibm.

    and 'ibm' did much more than just sell them a couple of calculators. they worked with the nazis to customise computers for specific tasks, counting the dead at concentration camps and keeping track of slave labor. the number tattooed on prisoners arm was refered to as the Hollerith number after the founder of ibm. ibm even had an office at auschwitz. ibm had facilities tracking trains running to and from concentration camps, things are a little more involved than what that article leads you to believe. its not like ibm just sold them some computers and that was it, ibm was working with the nazis.
