Mike re Autodesk, do you get Briefing.com? If yes do a search on Autodesk; they did
a piece on the company after last earnings release that was quite damning. Basic point
was those who need AutoCAD already have it and upgrade revenue can only go so
far. I was inclined to agree. Re the large cash hoard, take a look at WALL...they have
always had a lot of cash but have struggled for years trying to make something happen.
I'm sorry, not trying to flame your idea, but in hindsight MAT may well have been a
better play. I am surprised it is actually below my buy price; may buy more.

You bought Autodesk over Mattel at 24? What iced it for me on Autodesk last year was when I did a little math and found out that if you accounted for options as real money, they are not profitable.
