re. "goodwill" which needs to be amortized, but we're looking at $20 million per a quarter for 5 years for a $400 million total. That is going to have a huge effect on EPS is it not?? Eric, I've looked for this in the prospectus, and I haven't found it. Which page is it? BTW, yes, it would kill earnings for sure. We'd be looking at big losses, quarter after quarter. MTSN earned $10 M in the most recent 6 months. That's nothing compared to $40 M of goodwill amortization over a similar period, if that's what it truly will be.
