VERITAS Software Corporation (NASDAQ: VRTS) is headquartered in Mountain
View, Calif.,
and employs more than 6,300 people in 36 countries. With annualized
revenues over $1.5 billion
in 2002, VERITAS Software ranks among the top 10 software companies in
the world.
Through its award-winning and market-leading products focused on
business efficiency
and continuity, VERITAS Software provides the building blocks for
utility computing.

This is a big operation, Any transactions with this company should be on
a BUSINESS basis.
That then begs the question, Is it ethical ( to a CC'er ) to sell or
give classic equipment to
a large corporation for the profit of this operation when access to this
equipment forever
after would be at $1000/hr? It's also an oil operation, not one of the
most ethical businesses.
One more question? Has Veritas ever done anything to help the CC cause?
Jim Davis.
