...market--large shipments to major companies--and IBM hadn't fully tapped the more robust small-business and consumer markets. As a result, Lenovo's PC shipments have grown more slowly than the industry average for four of the past five quarters. That lopsided business, says William Amelio, Lenovo's CEO, makes him "feel like I'm hopping...
...Amelio, 48, has a plan to plant Lenovo firmly on two feet. The former head of Dell's Asian operations, Amelio took the helm last December, and is launching an ambitious gambit to seize international market share by expanding into every nook of the PC industry. Lenovo is introducing new products, building a complex global-distribution network and splurging on a brand-building campaign.

There were other benefits too: Lenovo got the rights to use the IBM brand name for five years and snatched the premier Think family of computers. ThinkPad notebooks boast some of the best technology...
...Magic Flute, written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart shortly before his death in 1791, features the tale of Prince Tamino's (Sonny Elizaondo '00) quest to find Pamina (Tonia D'Amelio '00), his love. The rather basic storyline is complicated by Pamina's evil mother, the Queen of the Night (Tamara R. Spiewak '02), who commissions Prince Tamino to steal Pamina away from the just and wise Sarastro (John Driscoll '99) and the queen's trusted follower who guards Pamina, Monostatos (Joe Nuccio '00), with the hope of marrying...
