What a convoluted, "feel good piece." thanks, john. are you hydro over there? we'd do well to remember burlington northern's summer 1998 p/r/ stating they were NOT going to be y2k compliant until 2008 i believe it was or even later. and their p/r continued on to state they carry 80%+ of this nations coal from SW USA to the coal fired plants NE. bet the coal fired boys cant stack enough wood for winter, let alone coal. i'm not going to rely on them, are you? my 120 v/7.1 amp kyocera panel<ssssssssssss> were delivered today and will be installed tomorrow. funfunfun.

If they were, we wouldn't feel like their reports were a whitewash. There are no pollyannas at ABB, which is a major supplier to electric utilities, and they are not irresponsible suppliers hiding behind lawyers. There's no reason why every supplier cannot be this forthcoming, and no reason to accept less from anybody else. Ralph ______ From: remarq.com
