Just thought I'd post this here because I'm feeling lucky. 
Anyways we are a software company that is in the spend cost 
analysis market. The majority of the software is written in Java 
that runs on tomcat using modjk to connect to apache. We have 
offices in Boston, Kentucky, Virginia, New York, China and the 
UK.

Well I won't go into a lot of detail but it's a small team and we 
manage over six data centers using enterprise equipment (sans, 
blades and some other cool toys); below is the public job 
description for the position.

Last thing and it's a pretty big deal too, we have been acquired. We are no
longer Emptoris but IBM, neat right?

Hi,

My friend has a Lenovo X201 laptop that might have a bad fan.
Unfortunately its warranty has expired.  So he is looking for
a Lenovo authorized deal who can take a look at it and repair
it if needed.  Local to Bloomington preferred but not limited.
Anybody has any recommendation?

Thanks,
Shing-Shong
