- Article is new, long enough, no copyvio concerns, hook is interesting (particularly for someone like me who likes to take Macs apart and treat them like PCs). Have to AGF on the source as the Google Books link doesn't seem to be working for me right now. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:09, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

Notice
editThe article states that the factory owner gave "employees six- to one-year notice". Meaning 6-year to 1-year notice (which is what the quoted text implies)? Or is it 6 months to 1 year? (I'm not familiar with the company, so I don't know.) --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 19:17, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
- @Piledhigheranddeeper: Six months to one year. Sorry for the mix-up, now fixed. DigitalIceAge (talk) 19:44, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
