Ellen, the other products that Corel has is what scares me! I had a long position for a while but do not at this time. Have you ever worked with Corel sales reps? I have! They scare the hell out of me, the people trying to sell the Wordperfect suite have an attitude like they dominate the Office suite space. They are unwilling to be flexible on pricing, and actually RAISED prices on several state agencies here. In fact, those agencies move to Microsoft Office even though they wanted to stay with Corel's Suite because Microsoft was willing to deal, and Corel was not. I will be the first to say Microsoft technology is not the best thing going, but their sales team cannot be touched. The only company I know of that has better sales reps. is Oracle. Here's to hoping these same guys are not in charge of selling Linux to companies as well. Oh, by the way, they had this attitude when Corel stock was at 5 and lower. I have no idea what they are like now! bob
