I guess I missed this earlier, or I would have jumped on it.
Americans should never forget what Toshiba did back in the 80's. When Ronald Reagan was bankrupting the commies, Toshiba violated a bunch of export laws (stabbing us in the back), and sold Russia the milling technology that we used for silent propulsion on our subs.
It's too late tonight to find some links, but google for "Toshiba-Kongsberg export violations".
SCREW Toshiba - When I had my store, I never sold so much as a floppy drive made by those bastards.
I didn't know that. Scratch Toshiba off my list...
