RE: Objection to Merger - Cash? James, >> The last thing they need is to take on a big cash-hemorrhaging burden when they are just breaking even as it is. These take-overs are almost always a failure, and Borland doesn't have tons of cash laying around. I see big downside and no to little upside. << Since it's a stock-swap merger, rather than a cash buyout, the cash required for the merger is minimal. If they were doing a cash buyout, I would strongly agree with you. - Michael Coley - i1.net
