It seems like that would be a good choice, as it it doesn't have a bad rep, does it? Trainboy Having purchased an ongoing business, one of the major considerations is to avoid disrupting ongoing operations and customer relationships as much as possible. We worked hard in our purchase to retain the name of the business. The EMD name is a significant, well known asset in today's market. EMC is unknown in the market today but may have been a good second choice - depending on who else has usurpted the name over the years. dd

Sincerely, Ross R. Moore, Jr. Maybe EMD will once again become EMC (Electro-Motive Corporation). Maybe, but EMD has been EMD longer than it was EMC. I'd look for either a new name, or maybe something like "Electro-Motive Diesel Corporation", or "EMD" for short. [;)] -Mark http://www.geocities.com/fuzzybroken
