There were also times Enron found a little government intervention came in handy. When India delayed approval of Enron's $3 billion power plant in Dabhol in 1996, Clinton White House counselor Mack McLarty instructed the U.S. ambassador in New Delhi to monitor it and gave regular progress reports to Enron chairman Ken Lay.

French football fans who closely monitor the form of their best players ahead of the World Cup keep their eyes on the English Premiership, where superstars like Thierry Henry, Robert Pires, Patrick Vieira, Emmanuel Petit, Marcel Desailly and Fabien Barthez ply their trade.

While it's hard to come up with a perfect Apple-to-PC comparison, a top-of-the-line Dell Dimension 8200, with a flat-panel monitor and dvd burner (plus a faster Pentium 4 processor and much larger hard drive), costs $2,200 and will occupy much of your desktop and part of the floor...
