Neil,
Appreciate the importance of a questioning mind that causes further scrutiny and explanations. However, have not seen the hyping concerning buy-out refusals that on other threads would have littered SI forums. In fact, I was a little surprised at the lack of hype.
To further my education: Is it customary for a company that has been turned down on a buy-out offer to invest in the company that refused them? I am sure your knowledge and experience is far greater than mine, but it seems that an investment by them MAY strengthen their competition down the road. Taking an interest in a company, however successful, would be a double edged sword. Please help me to understand. Thanks for your time and consideration on this.
Bruce

Neil,

I'm glad to see that you're interested! Mr. Mosser did not state any other information concerning Sun Microsystems or Hewlett Packard. Just that they both had offered to buy WCTI. Sorry I did not get more information. I will call Mosser back soon to clarify this!

Thanks
