Elmer, Where did you get the idea that Bush isn't corrupt? Insider Trading and George W. Bush A U S T I N, July 1-- The Securities and Exchange Commission defines insider trading as "Corporate officers, directors, and employees who traded the corporation's securities after learning of significant, confidential corporate developments". Bush sold $848,560 worth of Harken Energy stock on June 22, 1990, just one week before the company posted spectacular losses and the stock plunged sharply. When the losses were reported to the public on August 20, 1990, the stock plummeted. According to documents from a two year investigation by the SEC, Bush served on the board of directors of Harken Energy Corporation and his position on a special Harken committee gave him detailed knowledge of the company's deteriorating financial condition. The SEC received word of Bush's trade ten months late. georgebush2000.com Scumbria

Elmer and Thread, Scraps on the "P4 recall". Dropped by BestBuy and CompUSA today (edit: at Southern and Alma School). BestBuy guy says the HP systems were recalled "due to glitchy motherboard and software that didn't work with the OS". <ggg> CompUSA says the HPs simply had a BIOS problem (which they were fixing in-house) - more consistent with apparent reality. Interestingly enough, he also claimed that they had had four 1.8GHz P4 systems in the store earlier in the week. Didn't have time to question him more, so I don't know if (though I suspect) he was smoking something funny. He did mention there had been an Intel rep in. Also said they would have plenty of P4s in stock by Xmas. ~dbf
