Lynn,
<<each of the main players can be viewed as a "bad guy," including the latest character in the plot, Bob Willens>>

We don't know that Willens did not suggest this to Seagate at one time but, whether he did or not, I think your suggested criticism of him is rather vapid. I have to agree with Sam, I do not think Seagate has diligently sought buyers and arrived at this deal as the only and best. I think this is about grabbing at an opportunity identified by a rather brilliant investment banker in which the two companies could pull off a win-win with the shareholders left in the lurch. I do not think that it is a case of <<Depending on one's twist>> either. This is about as clear as it can be, and leaves little to "twists" except perhaps to the very naive. Nor is this a movie. It is very much for real.The thing that bothers me most is that obviously, some rather brilliant minds believe they can pull this off.

Best,
Stitch
