haahhha.....<--------royal pain in the a______. well, here's the truth. apm ( don't even mention wdc) took me to the cleaners not so very long ago. aah yes, the wonderful world of disk drives.... sooo, i was ( again) half- serious, but truly curious about the program; you are a sport hal. i see now the limitations with the data it can reflect. hahah, FLYT is a trip (hmm) and a half ( for further eye- opening speculation, see IELSF, look but DONT buy, that is)...resourceful group. quite a motley crue overall, except for you know who: i would have a hard time looking at any of them (DCAI..maybe?). hal, there is a profound lesson here, isn't there. what i mean is.....there must be a conclusion we can draw. or maybe a few. ok, the essential and obvious point is that having an abundance of $$$$ sitting around may not be the most desirable of states....unless, of course, one is shopping or they want to be shopped, right? if it were such an enviable state, why so few ( and what a few they are...) on the list: am i just missing the whole point here?

...FLYT recently decided that their computer based flight entertainment systems had limited growth prospects, so they have used some of their cash to buy a dry cleaning chain, and plan to pursue a dry cleaning consolidation strategy. From airplane games to coffee stains. Hey it might work ....as mom and pop operations sell out cheaply to retire.... LOL. Good one, Hal. This one is definitely a better story than Tseng Labs, which used to make graphic chips until they realized that Intel was going to enter the graphic chip market in a big way so they sold everything -- inventory, intellectual property, foundry contracts, the proverbial sink -- sat on the cash for a while and then bought a huge stake in a tiny biotech looking for a cure for cancer.
