I wasn't offering excuses for Fuller and the Board for making the horrible decision to merge with Corel. I understood the logic behind trying to form a "Linux Powerhouse" but never the decision to choose Corel as part of that. It also confused me as to why they would pair up with a shrink-wrap CD spammer, after spending 2 years attempting to move into the enterprise market. There is no excuse for teaming up with Corel. That was such a bad decision. There is a lot of work to do now that the merger is off. Its time we demand a business plan from these guys. Its time we see some real marketing and sales (no more Webvolutionary ads please!). I've said this for years, they have the technology but they just can't sell it. Its time we see some significant licensing deals with the likes of Oracle (no more sweetheart Del Yocam deals). I'd also like to see a more powerful and a Board of Directors that just might know something about the software market (and have a vision for the future). Dennis
