In a conference call with analysts, William H. Swanson, Raytheon's
Chairman and CEO, said the decision to possibly sell the Wichita,
Kan.-based division came after the company took a "hard look at
our product portfolio," but he refused to provide any more
details.

Maybe Toyota will buy it. :-)


Matt

Or Bill Gates or one of the other MS billionaires.

It will be nice when the washing machine maker isn't making
airplanes on schedule.

They have been talking about this for years...

Reminds me of a guy I used to know, had a garage full of really cool RC airplanes and stuff. When asked, it was all for
sale, if the price was right....

Raytheon made washing machines?

There were Bendix washing machines at one time but Bendix never made
them, just provided the name. I worked for Bendix in another life time.
