We have had a lot of interesting posts on Gemstar, and I am getting more interested. I would like to read the other side of the story. Would those in the know post a link to a story about the company that they disagree with?

>> the next time you compliment me, do me a favor and don't label it as off-topic

Consider yourself lucky it wasn't off color <g>.

Here's a tale for all of you who are too excited about tomorrow to sleep:

Even with all the recent publicity, one aspect of the sinking of the
Titanic is often overlooked. The story of the Titanic focuses on the
passengers, but the great ship also carried cargo.

On her maiden voyage she carried 30,000 jars of Heilman's Mayonnaise
destined for its second port of call, Vera Cruz. At the time,
mayonnaise was unknown in Mexico. Much publicity had been given the
imminent arrival of this condiment, and it was being wildly anticipated
by Mexicans everywhere.

You can understand that the sinking was viewed as a national disaster.
The occasion has been commemorated ever since as the Sinko de Mayo.

By the way. I want to add my thanks to the core members of this thread. It is easily my favorite site. It's built around a core theme that I can subscribe too. More importantly, the quality of discussion is first rate. We don't see the flame mongers here that can and have practically destroyed other threads.
