great, if in alphabetical order: asnd, fore, nn. if in cheaper one first: fore, nn, asnd if in less overlap mode: fore, nn, asnd if in ATM technology: fore, asnd, nn if in east coast culture: fore, nn, asnd if in looking at retaining engs: fore, nn, asnd (this is the most important one) So, FORE still comes out as #1. I'd eliminate the most expensive and then analyze the two remaining for all their attributes, not just ATM. In drawing conclusions, if you start from the wrong premise, you can end up in John O'Groats when you were headed for Dover. Just another opinion. . . Pat

if in looking at retaining engs: fore, nn, asnd (this is the most important one) Is this because right now FORE's employees' stock options are worthless due to MISSING EARNINGS REPEATEDLY and they know that if they get bought by LU, they will have a stable job and won't have to worry about getting a pink slip during one of their cost reduction phases?? Gee, maybe that is why they are still hanging out in Pittsburgh, hoping to get bought out so they don't stay a teeny tiny niche player.... ;o) JRH
