I truly hope that Fore does get bought so that we can all make some money. It is, however, very hard for me to believe there are ongoing talks, etc.., because of following: (Remember this little May 9th article from news.com?) This is only an excerpt but enough to get the point across.
At the close of Spring Networld+Interop 97, Fore CEO Eric Cooper told CNET's NEWS.COM that rumors that Fore Systems is an acquisition target are unfounded.
"As soon as people look at Fore, they can easily say 'this would be a great combination,' and before you know it rumors get started without, necessarily, any basis," Cooper said.
Now is it just me or should he not be saying this if there was an immediate possibility of a takeover etc..? |
