Thanks Joan for your thoughts.... Normally, I wouldn't even consider thinking about it even, BUT because I've lived here, and saw what he did with McCaw Communications, grew it, and eventually ended up selling it to AT&T for MANY Billions a few years ago....so if I learn anything of value re the de-listed situation, I'll surely post it... The reason I've mentioned it so far is because it was one of my Top 10...I thought....but because of the mix up, one of them still is...it is/was my adventuresome side that won on that one....so after the CPQ $360mm deal today, we'll see....The thing I think is interesting there is that ICO will have use of their facilities for THREE years after the purchase...and in these times, a month or two seems like a long time, doesn't it? Shoot, we could maybe have computers we can talk to and they will talk back to us by then!!! It does seem as if it should help get CPQ back on track and compete in the 'direct to the customer' business.... BTW, very funny "BuckBuckBwaaaack chicken me".... these days, we should all be making that sound for awhile....'specially with the merry pundits and financial firms/voices/analysts that seem to have these same "FEARS" every January.... Best, KLP and sure hope Blue has a nice Break! levy, Carolyn and everyone, where are you? Stay well everyone!
