          Stopped the entire supply of one of the two big fizzy drinks companies to the whole asia-pac region. It took sbout 20% off the shareprice of a FTSE 100 Co.

          My bit worked I hasten to add.


          I personally managed to stop the manufacture of the Ford Focus for a couple of hours by dumping pizza boxes onto the message processing server during the hot european summer of 98.
