In the article Users Claim SAP Can Damage Your Wealth (CI No 3,784) we erroneously stated that Siemens withdrew from PC manufacturing in April 1998, handing over the business to Acer Inc. In fact, negotiations with Acer were ended by mutual consent in September 1998. Since then, Siemens AG and Fujitsu Ltd have created a 50:50 joint venture, Fujitsu Siemens Computers BV, with the aim of creating Europe’s leading PC and server business by 2001. We apologize for any confusion that may have been caused by our error.
