GOOD NEWS!

I would much prefer it if ALA cherry-picked technology
startup companies with products for market segment gaps in
the ALA lineup.

Of course the argument can exist that LU represented huge value in customer relationships", but the sheer energy required to make a merger like this work would have killed any momentum of either company for some time.

Namaste!
