My son was hired by EMC as a hardware engineer fresh out of college three years ago. He sent me a pic today of the new Dell/EMC sign in front of the building. I told him as long as he's still employed there, it's all cool!
Yes, we're very proud of him.

At least Dell still makes an effort to keep their laptops up to date.

Where I used to work, they have had at least 6 different names. Checks still cashed. All that matters.

EMC is Big Data Storage. Hundreds of Terabytes up to Petabytes upon Petabytes. My sister talked about working with their R&D arm, which helped with some of the storage requirements at CERN.
They big news is that the merger was finalized yesterday. Dell is trying to out-IBM IBM.
