>>>>>[You're gonna love this. This morning, Tirandor send a couple of
corp-types over to one of the MagnaTech computer buildings. Well, they
walked and demanded access to the computer system. Well, the guard
stopped them an called Yoshida management. Then management came down and
wouldn't let the Dragon's Den reps in. This is great:

MANAGEMENT: I'm sorry, I do not have authorization to allow you access to
the computer systems.

DD REPS: We represent Dragon's Den, partial owner of this corporation and
we demand access to the computer systems.

MANAGEMENT: I cannot help you. Until I receive authorization, you cannot
have access.

DD REPS: Who can give us authorization.

MANAGEMENT: Only Joseph Yoshida or Lincoln Howe [Yoshida's Pres and VP]
can provide that authorization.

DD REPS: Then call them up and _GET_ authorization.

MANAGEMENT: (with a slight smile) Both Mr. Yoshida and Mr. Howe are away
for the holidays and will not return until after the new year.

DD REPS: This is outrageous. We demand.....

MANAGEMENT: SECURITY!

Then security hauled the DD reps out. You should have seen the looks on
their faces, it was classic. Seems like poor Tirandor is going to have to
work a little harder to get at whatever it is he is after in the computer
system. I do know that the first think Yoshida Tech did when they moved
is was to take the sensitive computer systems _OFF_ the network, thus you
can only gain access with the direct in-house terminal.

This whole thing is almost like a soap opera.]<<<<<
