  • unauthorized phone access to coomputer supports wire fraud conviction where computer source code considered property under statute
  • sale of storage facilities to a food processing plant; cause of action accrued on the date when installation was completed
  • “extension of the normal warranty period does not occur in the usual case, even though all warranties in a sense apply to future performance of goods”
  • courts have been harsh in determining whether warranty is one of future performance
  • "The correct response of a trial judge, when confronted with allegations of improper jury contact, is to give notice to the parties and to question the jurors on the record about any alleged incident.”
