I can't believe that no one has asked what the [IT,Paris Hilton,iPhone] angle is yet. And no, Sadville doesn't count as the IT angle.

You... You do know who IBM are, right?

- You don't think IBM software / hardware is expensive enoug as it is

- You wan to tell your grand children that you also went to strike once

- You don't want to let the Koreans be the first to do a real strike in Sadville

- You work for an IBM competitor
