Chrysler is silent. Which reminds me of the joke that circulated after Adobe "merged" with Aldus, one of whose programs was Pagemaker. Everyone wondered what the new company would be called, and the joke was that they would take the "A" from "Aldus" and "dobe" from "Adobe." Guy P.S. And don't ask me whether it was a true merger, a hostile takeover, a simple makeover, etc. - all I know is that PageMaker was ruined as a result!
