- Office Max has been growing profitably - but on a cash breakeven or cash negative basis.

- Here's a comment from an analyst, I think on Microsoft investor today:

"OfficeMax has an almost debt-free balance sheet and expects to become cash-flow positive by the end of 1998, generating free cash flow of $15 million to $20 million in 1999. Ryan hopes it will result in an aggressive stock repurchasing. She rates OfficeMax an "accumulate/high risk" and pegs 1998 earnings at 89 cents; she's got 1999 earnings at $1.11."

- Let's face it, the acquirer isn't risking much on this one.
