I already do boycott them.

If large numbers of people followed your lead, it would result in the loss of perhaps tens of thousands of high-paying American jobs. IBM is a major component of the Dow Jones Industrial average. If a major boycott took hold, the impact would likely be felt in a sinking DJIA. So, it would appear that your goal is to hurt the American economy and job outlook. Why would you want to do such a thing?

TO send a message, I am a sys admin. I just placed an order for a server, I am replacing a IMB with an HP.

IBM isn't the Dow and the Dow isn't the economy.
