So this IS why they announced the buy back. So they can buy at rock bottom prices. Maybe, just maybe they can prop up the price for the next week or so, until it settles back in to upper 4, lower 5's.

Anyone hear anything about a conference call? I'd like to hear the Q&A section with the analysts, aka how Del weasels out of this one. I'm pretty disappointed about the results for the quarter. I am optimistic about the growth in enterprise revenue (whatever that is). Was this the first quarter that they broke up the client server and enterprise sales? I think they had lumped the two together and called them "enterprise" revenue. The growth in large deals was also promising, especially a 10-year deal with Hitachi. I agree this sounds more like Visigenic ORB licenses, but to what degree will it translate into other sales for other development/middleware tools? These deals could be worth much more down the road. Not selling, but not buying either.. Dennis
