It looks like Toshiba got sick of having a decent and reliable product on their books.

It feels a bit more like a Toshiba is going down, so it would rather not take the only productive sector with it. Let's hope they can actually recover with the money the would get.

If they would be willing to put in some effort to make reliable products, they'd probably do better. That's not a money thing. That's an attitude thing, and it HAS to start with top level management. If top level management takes the attitude that reliable products are their top priority, a REAL attitude, not just lip service, employees will follow suit and make them that way. The continuing failure of that company is right in the hands of top level management.

Agree with some comments above. This is basic stuff. If the semiconductor/storage business is 80% of operating profit it looks like they are spinning it off as the "real" Toshiba. The old "Toshiba" takes all the debt, problems, and herpes.
