Judy: I was watching Intel too. Was really hoping for a close over 80, but I had an ultimate downside projection of 78.5 give or take, so I bought some there. Who knows, though, anything's possible.

Bankruptcy trustee sues SAP AG (read yahoo news...couple of news items) By Reuters, ZDNet WILMINGTON, Del, Aug 26 (Reuters) - The bankruptcy trustee appointed to oversee the liquidation of FoxMeyer Corp. and Foxmeyer Drug Co. has sued the companies' software supplier, SAP AG for $500 million for alleged "gross negligence." In papers filed Monday in the U.S. District Court in Delaware and made available to Reuters today, trustee Bart Brown said SAP's alleged fraud and negligence, "led to the demise of FoxMeyer, a once-thriving $5 billion wholesale drug distribution company." According to the lawsuit, although SAP's had historically made software for manufacturing, the Walldorf, Germany-based company, "assured FoxMeyer that its R/3 system was well suited to the needs" of the high volume and complex price structure of FoxMeyer's distribution business. Couldn't handle volume When the R/3 system was installed, its volume limitations made it usable at only six of FoxMeyer's 23 distribution warehouses, court papers said. "The failure of the R/3 system to perform as SAP had represented...was a significant factor contributing to Foxmeyer's August 1996 bankruptcy and subsequent liquidation." According to court papers, on September 30, 1993, FoxMeyer agreed to pay more than $5 million to license SPA's R/3 software system.
