I've been out of the country for a month, so I haven't seen the Financial Post since early July. I'll have to take a look to verify that the story was in there. The Financial Post is *not* some "small publication that only the poster subscribes to;" it's one of the three financial newspapers that the multinational company that I'm currently consulting at receives on a daily basis. More particularly, it's one of the top two national papers in Canada. (The Globe and Mail being the other one. I prefer the Globe, myself.) The fact that names at Motorola weren't named could just be that the spokespeople prefer to get less harassment from outside. -- Christopher Browne - Email:<cbbrown@io.org>, WWW:<http://www.io.org/~cbbrown/> Q: How do you make Windows go faster???
