Since the news is already out I didnt want to mention it here before..
But I suppose from my point of view you can see why I did not think highly of some people. I had no direct news of anything from any insiders but I figured as much from all the filings and what was happening and the tid bits I got. I suppose if I was in other peoples places I would be trying to stuff my own pockets too after screwing so many.
Well maybe not.

As much grief as I take on this board, I didn't want to also speak of the CSCO info I've heard. Yes, it does look like CSCO will buy NETA next week. The price between $20-30 a share. No More. CSCO's play is a value proposition, for the leftovers of the Network General product line. Sniffer, CyberCop and the likes. The Spin off of McAfee.com make perfect sense. After the merger however. It won't be Bill Larson making the choices. Peter Watkins will manage the Anti-Virus portion of the biz, and the rest is in doubt. Resume's are flying at NETA, and the uncertaintee creates more fear in long term employee's. NETA exec. staff are keeping VERY quiet about everything. Bill and most of his crew, will make the move to DirectWeb anyway.

I don't care if you think I'm full of shit anyway, it's a damn shame. Everybody started off with such hopes.
