Not an investment bank, since Lehman as it once was, doesn't exist[1]. No, Lehmans is an online hardware shop — online, I say — for people who don't use electricity.

We should rejoice that a website that started out serving the online Amish community - being a group of traditional church fellowships known for simple living, plain dress and a reluctance to adopt the convenience of modern technology, can, notwithstanding a fairly gaping flaw in its business model, have made a much better fist of surviving in business than a giant financial services advisor with the same name did.

(You never say “Goldmans” either, by the way).
