Thanks for the heads up. I will add GE to my boycott along with Heinz and Hormel and anything issuing from France.

Anybody know of any GE subsidiaries that should be added to this boycott?

Most power companies generate electricity with GE turbines. I suggest we teach those b*st*rds a lesson by returning to wood fires and using gasoline generators. Meet you back here when you get the steam powered modem up and running.

People who do not have money to burn would be wise to boycott GE appliances, regardless of their politics.

GE is the company that installed defective compressors in its Hotpoint refrigerators. Compressors normally have a seven year warrenty, but up to a 20 year life span (I have an ancient Frigidaire that predates computers). The compressors in the Hotpoint refrigerators quit after 8 years. The problem was so bad, GE offered to "help" with the replacement cost of a new compressor. Compressors cost $600.00, GE paid $200.00 of that.

That program has since been discontinued -- much like the Ford/Firestone Tire replacement scam -- and people who had the compressors replaced after 10 years were stuck for the entire cost of the unit.

Personally, I just replaced the entire refrigerator. But I would never buy another GE product, no matter what the price.

There's another reason to boycott G.E.--their products suck.
