David,
<<It will be a volatile time, and there will probably be a large short interest as some 3Com shareholders will lock in profits by shorting as-yet-to-be-distributed Palm shares. The post-IPO float will be pretty thin as a lot of those shares will be restricted. Trading in options will be nothing short of a nightmare.>>

Are you always this cheerful?
And please explain how does a shareholder short a yet to be distributed share?
Good luck and better profits.
