Luke,

Thanks again for your insight on this subject. In my prior post I was merely
bouncing an idea off people, because there are relatively few Market Makers in
PASW and it is possible (albeit unlikely) that there could be some FUD being
spread to keep the price gap much wider than it should be. I jumped into PASW
a few days ago at 8 5/8, and I can't believe that the spread is still
increasing. I work in the industry, know the products of both companies, and
consider them top notch.

I also give high marks to RATL for its proven success in integrating the companies that they acquire. The SQA merger was a case in point. Beautifully
executed, and probably accretive to earnings in a quarter or two. PASW obviously had more trouble with their merger of equals, but under RATL's
experienced management and the natural product synergies, I believe any of
those problems will be taken care of.

I'm already kicking myself for not buying more!

Dave
