OT and BTW: Does anyone know about document 666 (devil's number)? In one of the largest antitrust jury trials in history, Kodak v Berkey; $275 million verdict in like 1978, the trial lawyer was John Doar, who brought the articles of impeachment against Nixon. During pretrial discovery, one of his partners said the economic expert's documents had been destroyed. The judge said that was OK. On the day before the case was to go to the jury, the Kodak expert was testifying on one of the destroyeed documents. All hell broke loose, and the Judge said explain this tomorrow morning. That night, the guy admitted he never destroyed the dox and he had lied. He showed up with a wagon of dox the next day. The judge allowed the jury to learn all this. The guy's office was on the 38th floor of what was then the RCA building in Rockefeller center, NYC. His office chair stared directly at three big numbers in the NY sky--666, which was the number of the document that the expert revealed!! Go figure.

I can understand venting frustration (just did it myself several posts back)! ;) I guess for me it just comes down to whether I except the risk of a deal not getting done. I can think of many viable reasons for the lack of information other than the lack of a deal. I would rather have no info than for Hirsch to ruin a possible deal due to premature disclosure. My recent conversations with ARTT employees tells me that the rats certainly aren't scurrying to abandon ship even in the face of an imminent cash crunch next month. Negotiations have been going on for weeks and employees would know by now if only by observing their leaders mannerisms or moods if the talks were fruitless. Though I didn't mention it in my previous posts, Winstar has only managed to hire away one ARTT employee in the past four months. Does that indicate that ARTT doesn't have a bright future? And Winstar is trying to expand greatly in the Seattle market and would love to hire away ARTT salespeople and engineers. Obewon
