But they may have been wrong. Computer experts say that though the paper trail may now be destroyed, it might still be possible to recover much of the information from the computers that produced the original documents." This jibes with comments made by a friend and former employee who says that Enron had excellent backup and data retention policies -- which may now serve to hang the company's executives. http://www.knoxstudio.com/shns/story.cfm?pk=ENRON-DATA-01-29-02&cat=AN <http://www.knoxstudio.com/shns/story.cfm?pk=ENRON-DATA-01-29-02&cat=AN> -- http://www.pricegrabber.com | Dog is my co-pilot.
