Larry I'm new to this thread but have been posting on Cyrix/NSM thread from its beginning. The more I think about this merger the less I like it. What its doing for Netscape browser users like myself is moving us over to AOL and all of its rotten E-mail and other faults that I don't care to mention. What's the alternative??? Now I see why MSFT is so happy with this marriage. Is this what all of the Netscape users will do? I plan on using Netscape's 4.5 for as long as my ISP will allow it. We all may carefully look for a newcomer to the browser market and jump on. We need more competition, not less. Sorry its your shoulder I'm crying on. Long on Netscape. Scheb

Larry, Question Approximately 99% of the time, the acquirers stock value lessens while the aquiree stock value increases. Having said that, why do you say that a 10% or > DECREASE of the seller is typical! Secondly, I think anyone buying NSCP shares to become an AOL shareholder is loosing based on the trading that took place both today and yesterday! It may be better to own AOL than to get in through NSCP . (ie. < than .45) I must also point out that as far as I'm concerned NSCP has the ONLY browser! MSFT sucks! Respectfully, kevin
