Barad's strategy of moving into the business of selling high-tech, Internet-related toys was smart, but the choice of Learning Co. as the vehicle was a big mistake, Eckert told investors. It looks like Eckert embraces the previous vision, which is good, IMO. I also see that they are talking about selling TLC as opposed to MI as was (erroneously?) reported previously. I have mixed feelings about selling TLC at this point. It depends on the offer, if there is one. If they sell MI, I'm outta here. I was going to say that investors were being unfair by grilling Eckert after JUST getting there but what the hell. He's compensated to take it <VBG>. JF
