I'm with you guys... Remember, these results are for the "old" company,
as the fiscal 4Q/year ended September 30th, and the sale of the Apple
products didn't happen until early October (with its impact on the balance
sheet and income statement) - so it's really the current quarter's results
that will tell the tale.

What I think is most amazing of all is they got nearly $2/share cash for a
struggling division that accounted for less than 20% of their total revenues
over the past two years! (Thank you, Dr Solomon's.) Certainly, the
remaining 80% of their (relatively stronger, Windows-based) business
is worth more than $1! (w/ $26M annual revenues)

And, as there were two major products for each platform (Apple with
Virex and netOctopus, Windows with Monarch and Q-Support), I would
bet the Apple side accounted for a disproportionately larger percent-
age (> 20%) of total software development and SG&A costs, meaning
we should see significant margin improvement going forward...
