Never forget that Toshiba Corporation cooperated with the Soviets to get around US export licences so the Soviets could buy the high-tech tooling they needed to produce quieter screws for the Akula class boats.

I was fighting the Cold War when Toshiba did this and since then I have never even glanced at any of their products when I decide to make a purchase.

Me too. I remember this, and have never even looked at Toshiba laptops.

I remember it well and I, like you, have never purchased a Toshiba product since.
