A -very- temporary hit though I would imagine. And besides, UPS already has
Internet stuff. IF the PO wouldn't get into Internet as much, then perhaps
the "hostile" category of the takeover would not be so bad. "The
Crash" of
'29 would likely have nearly immolated them. All those little remote pads of
theirs, all those neat tracking computer systems. Oh yeah, big flames...

I know that at least 5 companies in the Lafayette area that are National
Chains have not -entirely- gone back to trusting UPS. The only retail company
that seems to not give a care is Sears. I have spoken with some of my
counterparts in the "sado-masochists club" that I work for, and they have told
me similar, but to varying extents, stories.
Back OnT now...with the fall of Fuchi in BitB, I am wondering how the level of
finances really did shuffle. I mean, Villiers managed to create an entire new
Megacorporation out of his share of Fuchi and all those minor and shell
companies. Was Renraku so absolutely trashed out that it took another
"portion" of Fuchi to restabilize it to something around it's original status?
I guess I have some personal problems imagining how a Megacorp would keep it's
status, when the wound it takes is nearly equal to a "Third" of another
Megacorp...
