Well, Red Brick's market cap is less than 75 million. There are many data warehousing companies to choose from. Brian

I don't know of any others that are publically traded. This is very interesting. Clearly, RedB is the premier, independent datawarehousing company. And, RedB management says that the difference between a datamart and datawarehouse is just marketing. There are some companies that make tools, like BOBJY, who has a market cap in that range. Other companies, like Arbor or Cognos have market caps far higher than $300 mil. Based on my moderate knowledge of the industry, RedB is the most likely candidate. Currentaly has about a $75 mil market cap, but there are probably some options. Still, could be a $12-15 offer price. I am currently out of RedB, but I think I will get back in today based on this news. Thanks, Archer
