I don't know what was your average cost per share, but you will probably kick yourself for selling now. I have been with linux since its early days in 1993 and I have been using C++Builder for over a year, and throughout this year I wondered what a big revolution C++Builder (or Delphi) for linux would spark. OK, if we were dealing with good management the stock would probably be at $200 now - the management is not that great. But there is something fundamentally different here. No other major desktop app company and major tool maker supports linux right now. Companies like Oracle, Sybase, Adobe etc do have linux versions for (very) few of their products but generally they are of the 'you are on your own' type downloads only. CORL/INPR will make linux (and I imagine solaris too) a fully supported platform for their apps. When the panic and the negativism stops, and the linux announcements start flowing around 3rd Qtr, people will realize what this means. Until then it's a great opportunity to dollar cost average. -K
