They also own NBC Universal and TIP Lease (trailer leasing), and until recently, they were also an insurance company, but that part of the company is now Genworth Financial!

Mookie, Carl's post is funny! But I wonder what he was eating, that he
couldn't put it down to "talk". Better not have been chocolate that he
wasn't sharing with us.

It is amazing what Thomas A. Edison started with one light bulb. Now GE is everywhere and in everything it seems like. They own NBC too don't they?

don't forget: GE makes jet aircraft engines, Hydropower turbines, steam turbines and gear reduction sets for ships and powerplants, too.
And, just to get their fingers in another pie, 'projectile motion generators.' The A10 is built around one, IIRC.

Plus big transformers. They MIGHT still make the big power amplification vacuum tubes for television and radio transmission. . . but I think they got out of the semiconductor business. They're big in facilities leasing and banking these days.

then there's the whole Plastics side of GE, too. Lexan is one of theirs.

.....Jen, I'l give you a bit of help here...You were wondering if the GE was a good product....We have a "Spacesaver" GE above stove microwafe that is now 24 years old and still running. We recently tried to find a replacement for it but sizes have changed since then so still wondering which way to go. New models make it too low to the stove. Maybe we'll have to reinstall a range hood and purchase new microwave to just set on counter when we do replacement. Believe we've had 2 service calls for the GE in that amount of time.
Q: Our old mw was a Sharp Carousel - 1988 and it had one service call years ago. They have upgraded them quite a bit, but they still just basically cook. Now the price - that's a lot nicer. They are getting pretty cheap. I guess the plasma tv's are the $ makers! We are still driving the old 1981 LTD daily, so you can see we really wear things out!

LM - I have the turntable from the old one on the top - communicating what will happen if this one gives me a bad time!


Okay,the old SP style 'brake wheel' type. Or was that a 'Frisbee'?[:D]
