The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] today announced it has concluded its
purchase of C-Mapo, a leading provider of digital marine cartography,
data services, and other navigational information. C-Map will become a
part of Jeppesen's marine division. Jeppesen is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Boeing Commercial Aviation Services.

placed officials deleted)
Great. Maybe they'll make the products flammable, like their jets.
They'll be moving development from Italy and tech support from
Massachusetts to Bangladore, where the "help," which cannot really speak
English, will read off of scripts through lousy IP telephone connections.
.....with waxed paper wrapped around their mouthpieces. :-)
