Err.. at least in the meeting, the VeriSlime carefully evaded giving any quantifiable answer as to warning time. I have no idea what they spun to the press afterwards. What I observed was they started out cocky...as the meeting went on and the questioning got pointed, they got snippy and defensive. Further along, they got a clear tone of desperation in their speech. Their counsel actually stood up and blocked them from answering some questions. As for the ?35? companies they polled; note the number started far higher and dribbled down. I suspect that the reason it was so low was (SURPRISE!) the 35 had to sign NDA's.... -- A host is a host from coast to coast.................wb8foz@nrk.com & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433
