   That's what it looked like to me.  We did find out that the company did had a   
   large chunk of Microsoft stock for the pension plan.  But that's all we could   
   really find out.   
      
   So we were never sure if it was a "No one ever got fired for going with   
   Microsoft" or something more unethical.   
      
      
   ... I may be wrong, but I'm never in doubt!
