If Newbridge is not acquired, then I certainly hope that Ian's lifetime is very, very long. Right Ian!?!? Actually, WRONG, Larry.!.!. Much to your chagrin, NN had key technologies and accepted products that are fundamental to the next massive wireless boom - specifically the rollout of LMDS especially in the emerging growth nations. A takeover gives the shareholders a small pop now. NN thriving on its own gives the shareholders a much larger pop in, at most, about 2 years. Probably, closer to 1. And I expect to live at least another 25 years in reasonably good health. Possibly another 35. So delaying my gratification by a year will cause me no hardship whatsoever.
