"Morgan Stanley and some of its officers, employees and affiliates have committed to invest up to $50.1 million in Silver Lake Partners' $2.3 billion fund. Morgan Stanley's commitment is $1 million, and the remainder consists of commitments from approximately 130 officers, employees and affiliates of Morgan Stanley." Sam and Lynn- Thanks for posting the notes. Now we need to add 130 employees of Morgan Stanley to the wall of shame(which includes SEG officers, BOD, and Silver Lake partners). This is simply unbelievable. Again, so much so that I feel something must be happening behind the scenes to get this ridiculous take-under to pass a shareholder vote. -MikeM(From Florida)

Dear Sam and thread: Another interesting tid-bit noticed by Gay_Avek on the Yahoo! board: New SEG Filing to SEC by: GAY_AVEK (55/M/Miami, FL) 9/13/00 12:49 pm Msg: 19054 of 19059 SEAGATE TECHNOLOGY INC has filed a Form SC 13D/A (Amended General Statement of Beneficial Ownership) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. freeedgar.com ---- SEAGATE TECHNOLOGY INC Form: SC 13D/A Filing Date: 9/11/2000 In a series of open-market transactions from August 7, 2000 through August 18, 2000, Seagate sold 1,384,200 shares of Veeco's Common Stock, reducing Seagate's beneficial ownership to 0%. ===== Comment: There goes another hundred-million dollars worth of stock that would have been converted to VRTS shares. As cash, management can use it for operating-expenses to the ultimate benefit of the Silver Lake crowd, leaving current shareholders with nothing. messages.yahoo.com Lynn
