I just read an interview on CNET with Sterling Ball. He comes across as a fairly level-headed guy. It even sounds as though their licensing transgression was more-or-less accidental. It certainly cost them a lot of money. Ernie Ball sounds like one of those companies you'd quite like to work for, doesn't it? Although I realise that can be an illusion. It's a shame, because I've become quite attached to (very heavy gauge) Elixir strings (electric and acoustic guitars). They're pricy, but they sound good, and last a lot longer (even with my ultra-corrosive fingers). Maybe I should try to persuade Elixir to migrate too... :o) Michael
