Rich,

I agree it seems like a good fit.
We're combining 2 weak companies
to create one (hopefully) strong
company; whether the "hopefully"
becomes "really" depends a lot on
the execution of management. Now
more than ever we'll need to see
increasing sales, improving margins,
better capacity utilization, etc.

I feel the street may be taking a
wait and see attitude. I'm sure the
analysts are busy evaluating the
news and will advise their clients
soon. Sometime in the next couple
of months, we may well get a nice
fresh in-depth report on ACTM from
one of these analysts... that could
bring in some big longer-term buyers.

One point I've not seen raised is that
this merger may bring higher visibility
into the performance/operations of ACTM.
As long as I've been holding ACTM I've
lamented the fact that we see no news,
not one teeny tidbit of information,
between quarterly conference calls.
Its my hope that, due to the influence of CMCI
(and the generally larger combined company),
we'll see more press releases, a better
website, real investor-relations, etc.

But the bottom-line to the stock price is
the top-line and bottom-line performance
of the new company.
