John, things are good. Just got back from a family wedding in France.
I've been watching a situation here in Montreal regarding Future Electronics, a major worldwide components distributor. The FBI and the RCMP recently raided its offices. From very reliable sources I am told it has something to do with fraudulent use of supplier debits [discounts]. However, Future has, so far, been able to keep the wraps on this by petitioning the courts to prevent public disclosure. It appears that Texas Instruments initiated this action. Presumably, once the truth is told Future's major suppliers - Motorola, AMD, etc. - will be very upset.

Regards, Gabriel
