We may have spoken months and months ago,...I don't remember.....I do not hold RBOT at this time....tried to buy some at 9 ....but didn't fill.....it usually drops back after the good news wears off.....I figure if MDT is interested it must be a viable technology.....I have owned MDT for quite a few years now...RBOT looks like it has a very promising future....especially with ZEUS. Good Luck

This is a great opportunity [IMHO] to buy. Intuitive Surgical buys Computer Motion Friday March 7, 11:19 am ET SUNNYVALE, Calif., March 7 (Reuters) - Intuitive Surgical Inc.(NasdaqNM:ISRG - News) said on Friday it will buy Computer Motion Inc.

As proposed, each outstanding share of Computer Motion common stock would be converted into approximately 0.52 shares of Intuitive common stock. Intuitive expects to issue about 15.39 million of its shares on a net fully diluted basis, for Computer Motion.

The merger is subject to the approval of a majority of the shareholders of each company and is intended to be a tax-free reorganization.
