Thanks, to Mr. Bash, Mr. Allen, and DH... all the "negatives" are short term (IMO), or problems for the traders, or the just plain impatient, not for me. I gotta figure out how to get more.... Goodboy, change your handle to GOODBUY

Yes, someone can try to read in negatives if they want. The announcements say the agreements aren't yet in the "definitive" stage, however what does either company have to lose by solidifying the deal? In point of fact, both have much to gain... Also note that SFA is now specially incented to sell CCUR's servers, over and above any others. (We saw no such equity arrangement with SEAC.) It's effectively a subtle/preferred product endorsement, as well as a form of profit-sharing which gives SFA strong motive. I don't think SFA would bother with any of this if they didn't believe that CCUR had the goods. I finally bought more today, and am keeping my checkbook open. Time Warner is taking delivery of SFA's set-top boxes as we speak, for imminent deployment. They'll need the other "end" pretty darn soon...
