Market Cap for DEC is 5.4 bil and of Yhoo 2.9 bil. Maybe they will merge and sink together like 3Com and US Robotics. <G>

I gather from WSJ that Microsoft paid ~$350 mil for the HotMail; there was no definitive number printed in the WSJ, though. What is your source for $15-30 mil?

Anyone think YHOO overpaid for Four11?

Yes, very much so - but I suspect that when they made the deal they weren't expecting the market to value YHOO (the stock) so high.

I'm sure Hotmail would not have come cheaper though.

From what I understand, Hotmail is top dog at managing a large volume of mail due to the algorithms and architecture it uses (at least that is what MSFT says).
