Interesting to note that the latest issue of the business magazine 
_Forbes Asia_ (8 Dec 2008) has named a former Dell employee, William 
Amelio, and his Chinese colleague, Yang Yuanqing, as "Forbes Asia 
Businessmen of the Year 2008".  (Amelio, who works out of his office 
in Singapore, is now CEO of the Chinese PC company Lenovo; and 
Yuanqing, who is usually found in Raleigh NC, is the Lenovo Group 
Chairman.)

Cheers, Phred.
