hopefully not... i'm still a shareholder! :-)  BUT, i will have to say
that the power going out is a cronic problem.  there have been days
when upon arriving to the office, one finds that the power is gone
with no estimated time of return, and security sends us home for the
day.  that happens more than 4 times a year.  i don't know how that
power grid works, but it sure doesn't work well, which is slightly
scary since it's so close to SFO.  i can't imagine how much it costs
the company in business when we can't help anyone, esp. since the
phones are digital and can't run without power.

ps. it was a 1st time for me participating in a BayPIGgies meeting
completely in the dark.  you sure had to use your imagination!  ;-)
