John, What changed your mind? Anyway, an attorney should take it on contingency. To: INTCfan who wrote (36656) From: John F.

Dowd who wrote (36652) From: INTCfan Sunday, Jan 16, 2000 4:32 PM ET Reply # of 37114 from your link, re: <In a teleconference, Ballmer said he believed the talk of a break-up was purposely leaked by Justice Department officials in hopes of pressuring Microsoft to settle quickly. "I believe the leaks are deliberate. I don't think there's any doubt about that," Ballmer said.> A point to ponder. If it could be proven that the leaks were deliberate, and that at any point in time this reduced shareholder value, could the shareholders file a class action lawsuit against the DOJ? I imagine a suit in the amount of a hundred billion dollars or so might get someone's attention. INTCfan
