Sugar cubes and pizza are IMHO closer in a consumer's mind than mattresses and computers. But I am not a lawyer.

Mr. Gilmartin is being opaque: the lawsuit was over Domino Foods (owned by Amstar) vs. Domino's Pizza.

Just figured I'd save a few folks some time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
