OT: GM: re: Is it too late for Applied to diversify into the internet? They could try, but it wouldn't work, as it's outside their core competence. Have you figured out what the Zapata conglomerate's synergy is? It's oil, of course: oil drilling, fish oil, and snake oil. And named after a Mexican bandit. Truth is stranger (and much funnier) than fiction. If I was trying to invent a spoof, I wouldn't create something this absurd, because it just wouldn't be even remotely believable.
