Of course, your understanding of capitalism (at least modern capitalism) is somewhat flawed. Yes, many companies that go Chapter 11 (and it's equivalents in other countries) and die, despite the reorganization. However, many companies go Chapter 11 and come out stronger than ever, generally those that have fundamentally sound businesses but are haunted financially by past misdeeds. Mandrake fits that bill to a tee. -- Levi Ramsey [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Another January, another Bill Cowher choke-job GPG Key Fingerprint: 354C 7A02 77C5 9EE7 8538 4E8D DCD9 B4B0 DC35 67CD Currently playing: Metallica - Until It Sleeps Linux 2.4.20-0.4mdk 04:10:01 up 1 day, 12:47, 8 users, load average: 1.49, 1.37, 0.81
