Hi Ike: On NETA. Its amazing what rumors will appear during options week. Scratch MSFT, NOVL & IBM off the takeover list because it doesn't make sense for these co's to do the deal MSFT has licensing with CHKP, NOVL will stay focused on the network & IBM is tied to SYMC thru the recent sale of their antivirus and SYMC is in with CHKP. CSCO just entered into a licensing deal with NETA. Why pay so much for the company when you already have the candy. CA. Maybe but NETA has some hefty valid lawsuits to work thru. Just my 2 cents but add this to your equation and be ready to jump if there is no deal. Tim
