Charles, Do today's developments betoken more than a modicum of credulity upon the individual who goes by the moniker "tyger63" on the Yahoo board? On May 14, s/he posted: "...in the coming weeks/months look for rumors to begin...and become more insistent with regard to spinning off the Net+Arm division of the company. One possibility: Osicom retains 40%, Osicom stockholders receive 40% in a direct spin-off, and the remaining 20% is sold as an IPO." Granted, s/he was (regrettably!) wrong with regard to a spin-off. But without wishing to understate the difference, this person seems to know something (and should probably refrain from any further "talking out of school.") I, for one, am hoping that s/he's in the ballpark with another of his/her remarks, mentioned in the same, aforementioned post: "Gigamux sales [are] larger than any others yet reported on are closer to fruition than heretofore known. This is undoubtedly part of the reasoning behind the willingness on CSFB to underwrite the new offering." One could develop a chain of inferences which links such a surmise to the pieces of the "puzzle" which Scott has dropped on the table. But there's a dark possibility here, too... If we see no appreciable take-off in Gigamux sales by the end of Q3, I fear that we longs will be rapidly circumnavigating the proverbial vortex. In simple English, we'll be screwed. These are interesting times for the gamblers among us.
