    That is why on the letter I posted online, the address is blacked out, since it is one of a completely unrelated party.

    Is there something about real estate where the blinders to the outside world are so intense, that they stop the line of thought the prevents a company from considering the 'law of unintended consequences'?

    If you can afford to buy CS4, you should be able to justify upgrading/replacing your computer.

    Yes, kinda. I used one of the default styles found in the menu. Although when this topic came up I copied the Grey style and replaced the background with a BSOD.

    This pulls those stocks off the market, reducing the number of stockholders (and the votes that come with them). And hopefully if they need cash in the future, they could sell the stock for a higher price.
