>>On the other hand, if the assets remained a part of Osicom, such an explosion of sales and earnings would help the present shareholders.<< Are you certain that the assets won't remain a part of Osicom. So far all we've seen is a short press release and it has been posted here that beyond that most of the details are not worked out yet. I figure that Net arm was about 1/3 of the future of FIBR, so maybe I'll sell 33% of my fIBR to come up with the money to exercise without shelling out more from my pocket. The issue is this simple: Osicom has decided that it must sell something to raise capital. Net+arm is the best candidate. They can give you a chance to buy it or sell it out from under you. I prefer the opportunity to decide for myself. If they go out and sell it to "Chips R Us" I get no choice in the matter. If they just give me the shares then they raise no capital. I was not happy when I first read the news release and I still would prefer that they keep the company together but if they must sell this way is the most fair to me. Bryon
