In this post-Enron era, any investigation like this will raise some eyebrows, said one analyst, but in general buyers seem unconcerned that anything major will come of the investigation.

Steven Jacob wants his geeky magazines! In 2000, he sued the Nebraska Department of Corrections for not delivering him the "Electronic Design" and "PC Week" magazines to which he had subscribed. Prison officials said that they deprived the prisoner of his pair of periodicals because the address labels listed him as president of the computer business he used to run. Prison policy forbids inmates to have anything to do with a business. Jacob's case got tossed in 2001, but now an appeals court says his suit may go on.
