Just a little history lesson: You couldn't be part of the "Nationalsozialistische Arbeitspartei" aka NSDAP (the political party commonly known as Nazi) if you weren't of pure German blood (except if your name was A. Hitler, who was Austrian). IBM is not and never was a German company...
The Nazi party used the Swastika as their symbol. The Swastika in itself is a lot older than the 3rd Reich, and is a symbol of "Good Luck".

Yes, I also saw the odd shape that looks like a Swastika, but it's not the Nazi-Swastika...allthough I'm pretty sure it wasn't an intended design, but more a hazard.

So again, as I already told you once Abs, before throwing around that Nazi-thing, inform yourself...

In case you're interested:

Not everything, but your obsession for the Nazi is really a little...disturbing.
It pisses you off? How much other people did you **** off already on this forum, and yet you don't care...so why would I care?

Yes. I believe it originated in the Chinese language I believe, because you can actually type one when you switch to the Chinese language. But what do I know, I'm a mornon, right Avalon?

You don't want to hear it anyway. It is a story of love, hate, sadness, abuse, and insanity.
