My source who said that the Starfish acquisition was worth several hundred millions of dollars said I could reveal his name: (drumroll)
BOB GROWNEY
PRESIDENT and CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER
MOTOROLA, Inc.
(and yes Blum I bet he knows Chris all too well!)

Will "your source" who said Starfish got bought out for $10M allow you to reveal his name?
No! Are you sure? Come on - one more time - the good old college (or
maybe octogenarian) try! Puh leaze! No. OK, I did not think so. O well maybe next time "your source" will be talking about all white-meat gorditas and forgo the big lizards thing...<ggg>

(yup folks if you believe that Starfish cost Motorola just $10 million <ha ha ha> (per Blum) then you have to believe that the PRESIDENT of
Motorola, a $25 BILLION company, went to San Francisco to announce a major $10 Million dollar acquisition. He must have seen a lot in his "10M" acquistion didn't he Blum! Unless of course he was just visiting the museum and decided to buy this company for the heck of it and give
a small presentation just while he was at it: <ggg>

<still laughing - thank you Blum you made my day <gggg> >
