hello - you r not so dumb <G>. PCTL is one of my losers I am planning to reject - just that "dumping is hard to do." But there comes a time when we ve to say, "enough with this, maybe I can make it back elsewhere."
I really don't know when I ve the courage to do this to PCTL (done it to others though,) since it is still the mkt leader. I ve to agree with you, every dog and its cousins are hoping LU to buy them out, it just won't happen. However, for argument's sake, while profitability is an important factor, LU is also going after OCTL install base (jmho,) in that respect, if LU EVER wants to get into VC, then PCTL is a likely candidate.
