It still is, if you're in the market for a nuclear power plant,
satellite components or advanced military weapons, Westinghouse is
still a major player.

However, they've been very careless lately about licensing their name
when it comes to consumer electronics products. It galls me sometimes
when I see what George Westinghouse's name gets associated with. It
really tarnishes his legacy.


IMHO, we should have a law that allows the actual trademark owner to
be
liable for poor quality products produced under their name with their
permission.


There is no need for a law. All consumers need to do is vote with their
money (in an altruistic sense)......

So she knows something that maybe some of the rest of us don't?

Maybe show knows what THIS thing is:

Looks to me like a space ship landing port in the middle of the rice fields.
