Martin, I still remember the advice of one of my mentors who said, "If a broker offers to buy your business, let him." Of course, he meant by giving me low commissions or great buys on securities, not personal bribes. But, as he told me, also, once they move back to everyone else's price, remember that you owe them nothing. <g> I am glad that HP has decided to buy your business and you let them. Seriously, you can't ask for a company to do more than what they did. After all, they don't mfr. their own boxes, so they don't really know how badly Solectron screws up any one of them. <g>
