Then they sometimes require a minimum of two per "disgruntled employee". EDS seems to have made a habit of generating "disgruntled employees". Hell, I've read about lawsuits at the executive level where they use that excuse to explain why some ex-bigwig's lawsuit is invalid. >>I do get confused roaming around Halifax, but that's just because I'm with >>someone who knows the place and will, if traffic looks nasty up ahead, take an > >>alternate route I've never been down.
