Thomson bought the RCA brand name. After a few bad experiences with TVs and VCRs, we have removed Thomson products from our list of approved suppliers for this household. Also, I believe they recently shut down a picture tube plant in Pennsylvania. I wish you well in the US, but cannot extend my good wishes to your employer. To use an old Yiddish phrase "May they grow like turnips with their heads in the ground." |
Good reply

Thank you. Are you a advanced electronic engineer? |
GE still owns the HMV image, from what I understand. And if I'm not mistaken, Thomson also runs Magnavox and Philips.

The meaning Of William WILLIAM (m) "will helmet" from the Teutonic elements wil "will, desire" and helm "helmet". The name was introduced to Britain by the Normans. It has belonged to several rulers of England, Prussia, and Germany, including William the Conqueror who was the first Norman king of England. William Tell was a legendary 14th-century hero from Switzerland. It was also borne by dramatist William Shakespeare and poet William Blake, as well as contemporary authors William Faulkner and William S. Burroughs. Billy is the short name for "William". |
Billy, do you find it odd that most folks in the world have their names "backwards"? For example, if you were here in the US, you would be Guo Liang Ding.

I don't know my name has so many meanings
I should treasure this name. I am fraid that I give myself a bad name and let they make jokes on me.
|
The name William also means "guardian" and "determined protector".
There are numerous sources online for origin and meanings of names ... Western names are sometimes not as obvious in their meaning as those of China. We are, however, sometimes unaware of them, unless we take the time to look them up. |
