> Silicon Graphics Inc. 
> Sun Microsystems Inc. 
> Trusted Information Systems Inc. 

Some of these players I would expect to sit at the key recovery table,
but why SUN?  Any of you California dudes know what's up with that?

Am I right in assuming that the International Elvis marketing deal will
never go through?

Oh, yeah.  Thanks for bringing me back to reality.

Let me share with you something a friend in school once told me:

  "Dave -- if you can't figure something out, the answer's
   probably money."

I can't tell you how much time and trouble that one sentence has saved
me in braincycles over the years...

Sometimes we have to be reminded.
