Indeed! This whole mess reminds me of an article I read about two companies in Eastern PA. Company X had setup shop in a small town. The plant was the town's livelyhood. Company X decided to pull out. A new company, company Y, who is a competitor of X, decided to purchase the old plant. They offer jobs to most of X's employees that X had layed-off. Just as Y is about to open the plant, X contents that none of their former employee can work for Y, since they would be using proprietary information while working for Y. X has filed suit against Y and serveral of their former employees. X and Y are cheese manufactures. I beleive X==Kraft. This was in WSJ and AP had a few stories about it awhile ago. It is a shame companies can be so petty over such things when all poeple want to do is make a living... -- Ack! esh101@psuvm.psu.edu ESH101@PSUVM hvozda@vivaldi.psu.edu hvozda@wilbur.psu.edu DoD #0217
