- Don't forget that ESCOM still is a PC-shifting company with a very very narrow
- profit margin. In '95 they made large acquisitions, not only C=, but also
- those UK stores as well as other stuff. So it's no wonder they don't make
- a profit. I remember a financial report half a year ago where they reported
- losses for the first half of the year.
