Cybis,

Point well taken. For what its worth, I too have suffered "downsizing" and ,
you're right, it ain't fun. I apologize for the last sentence in that
paragraph. I certainly don't believe the employees of Polaroid deserve their
current situation, least of all David. I was thinking more of the CEO,
directors, etc. that make the decisions. Of course, those often get "golden
parachutes" when their decisions prove to be wrong.

Lloyd
