G,
Market may not like the deal but it likes deals. Deals are made when value is perceived. We may enter into a period of more mergers. In this particular one, it appears that two losers got together to find synergies and cut costs. They might also be cutting future business as either current hwp or cpq clients consider other vendors in the next cycle. mike
