After the IPO there'll be 39,000,000 class B shares still left over with the insiders. Compared to the approx. 4 mil class A being offered, the class B carries 10 times the vote of class A. (check the SEC filings at the top of this thread.) With that kind of voting power with the insiders (100 x you and I) I would hazard a guess that it is not going to be part of some takeover play anytime soon. It will have to grow the old fashioned way - by earnings and such. Oh, drudgery! Of course, it's still a fine company with good prospects. But it'd be better if we evaluated it on its niche position and its grip on technology and its pricing power, etc. Regards Dinesh
