How do they repackage? Use a saw? <grin> "Hey Bob, hand me that 3/4's drill, I gott'a 'nother Pentium to repackage." I think they would be wise just to ditch them. Whoever sells them will have to admit it, and they will become the butt of serious jokes. They've already taken the writeoff, they should just ignore the tiny amount of money this represents and look to improve their image. They can't afford to go through this again. Half a billion here and half a billion there soon adds up to real money! —- Andrew
