hee hee Actually, I can do without the massages... ...but if my poached Salmon is over-cooked, THAT'S when the gloves come off! Seriously, I see nothing different about SAS's approach to business and competition: Each company wants to maximize marketshare, mindshare and profits by using all means at their disposal to (a) be superior to their competition or (b) create the appearance that they are. IBM, Microsoft, SAS, Burger King, Allstate... no difference. What differentiates SAS is that Dr.Goodnight actually recognizes that motivated employees are a powerful weapon in a company's arsenal -- not "headcount" -- not interchangeable widget-making "resources". (and, yes, I sound like a PR plant, but after enough M&Ms, Tilapia, and car washes, you probably would too) --Ken _______________________________________________ Juglist mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://trijug.org/mailman/listinfo/juglist_trijug.org
