Dell considering closing Alienware in Athlone and Miami and moving to it Poland.

I don't post here often, this might be of interest to people here. I just heard that Dell are thinking of pulling Alienware out of Ireland and Miami and consolidating it's Alienware manufacturing into Poland: http://www.rte.ie/business/2009/0325/dell.html

That's possibly 70 jobs going in Athlone. It's also a development I believe many people suspected would eventually happen when Dell bought Alienware years ago. That it would be absorbed into the Dell company and simply be marketed as a separate brand.

everyone in dell knew this at the Jan chopping...
High up management sent out a powerpoint presentation to some ppl with the transition to Poland from Ireland. Of course they forgot to remove the part about Alienware closing ...I'm surprised it actually toook this long to get out.
