TD, Completely agree with you on vntv's runup being justified. I also agree that psft has a ways to go yet in manufacturing. But...they have also come a long way in this area also. I just wouldn't be surprised if they aren't at least thinking about it at this point. They can't afford to sit around and wait until the other guys all have their products available and then say....gee.. why don't we buy vntv to find that someone else already has.. I think the Red Pepper acquisition has long since been assimilated so I don't really see what is currently standing in the way of this. To me it just seems to make sense. This is not intended to fuel any of the purported rumors that are currently surfacing but just a sharing of my own opinion. With respect to your comments about the relationship between vntv and psft not developing as hoped what exactly was the relationship supposed to be? Melissa
