Ah, but, Stan... if I remember my music right (and I am not a musician nor
even musically inclined), if they were singing "a capella" they would be
singing without him. ["a capella" means "without accompaniment".]  So,
instead of having named him to the board, they would have chosen to let him
go.  Noticing Compaq's recent track record, maybe then they truly would be
singing...
