Leland wouldn't the collapse of the Big 3 create a mushroom of new startups in autos here in the USA? companies like Tesla and Fisska (sp?) bringing in an electronic vehicle that can replace the daily commute vehicle in no time. May get another company to do a Hydrogen car as well, although that may be only for metro bus lines. We all know that the big 3 would not be allowed to fail, who will build hummers for the military? -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer Mimeo.com Memphis TN 901.246-0159 _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
