KM was a merger of two photography related organisations. (Incidentally, Konica is, I believe, the oldest photographic company in the world) PS is an alliance of a photo manufacturer and a selling organisation. The dynamics are considerably different. I am wondering what KM is going to do, as it could not make a living in one of the consumer growth markets. Tantos all round for senior management, I think. m p.s. Glad to see you are still here, Marnie. Your advice on Nightshade plants has worked miracles for me. I am deeply indebted. ----------------------------------------- Email sent from www.ntlworld.com Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software Visit www.ntlworld.com/security for more information
