***OT*** <<Did you see this yesterday???? lightreading.com Wait till Zbyslaw gets back from vacation! He's not going to believe it. Cisco to Pay $369M for PixStream>> Pat, I got to tell you the companies that have been sold that were part of the Newbridge affiliates program sure validate the entire program. Newbridge (Now Alcatel) and Terry Matthews (Through Celtic House) have made a bundle identifying good people and technology and working with them to turn these start-ups into top-notch companies. Just look at the list of firms that have bought these companies. Nortel, Nokia, Erricson, Alcatel, Cisco and many more. I cannot recall any that were purchased that did not perform the way the acquiring firm expected. Where would Nortel be today without Cambrian? All that being said Terry Matthews has done rather well with the sale of Newbridge, which he took in ALA shares. It currently is over double what it was sold for. I must admit that holding on to some of the "jewels" i.e. Cambrian rather than selling could have made NNC a very different company. Regards, Glenn P.S. As for our friend Zbyslaw i'm sure he will wonder if the world has gone totally nuts!
