Hi Carla

That's probably quite a neat way to exit EISA in the current circumstances.
You can be assured that they will NEVER make it to the top tier - indeed,
they have been placed in receivership, and have just about reached the
bottom tier - don't expect them to exist in their current form for much
longer. They are indeed the mob that wanted to buy Ozemail, but they'd be
lucky to be able to buy a pie and sauce now!

The irony, of course, is that their single most realisable asset is probably
their customer base, and, judging from your experience, they are not doing a
lot to maintain even that!

I'd suggest that you're well off out of there!

Jeremy
