>>Palm Computing's founders (Donna Dubinsky and one other guy I can't think of) had to sell a couple of years ago to U.S. Robotics because they ran out of cash. They sold for $44 million, in retrospect, a bit low, don't you think.<< Yeah, I remember that part. I wonder about the 3COM/USRX part...actually USRX since they were initial buyers. Did they have a clue what they were getting into? Or was it just some loose change needed to be spent for tax purposes when stock price was way up there.:-)
