Rich, I really think that Altron would be a great candidate for DIIG to purchase, more so than Hadco. The reason I say that is because DIIG really doesn't have any east coast presence and the purchase of Altron would really benefit them greatly. They really have a great backplane and assembly business and the last I knew they deliver on time. However, Hadco may be thinking that they can't let anyone else buy Altron so we better buy it ourselves. Hadco is very big as you well know. They have factory's all over the country, plus overseas. However, I really don't think Hadco will make a play for Altron. They just purchased CCIR, who also about a year back purchased some backplane shop in Texas, even though it was very small. One thing of note. Did you notice CCIR'S stock the week before the buyout from Hadco. The stock up to that week was tanking and then all of a sudden it started really moving up for the 3 to 4 days prior to the purchase. Someone new what was going on. Keep an eye on Altrons stock. I'll bet you anything that if someone is going to make a play for them, their stock will also start to rise. I'll try to find out some up to date information on Altron. I'll check the local papers and see what's going on. I use to know several people there when I worked at Wang Labs. I'll try and get hold of them to see what they think and what the rumors are flying around the company.
