<<I thought the price was right back in August.>> My contrarian view... Half of COSFF revenue comes from Graphics software which is encountering significant competition.... both COS & Macromedia are losing real market share in the last quarter to Adobe Illustrator. >> You may be right on this; my graphics-designers friends prefer Adobe, pronounce Corel out of date. <<The other half of COSFF sales to the Office market will not decline, but will have a hard time increasing....The outlook for revenue growth is bleak and with no new product introductions ... the best is over.>> IMO it's a bet on the growth of linux, aided by anti-microsoft feeling. I have not been encountering so many changeovers to MS Office and think Corel will do well against Applix et al. Anyway, I have money where my mouth is ;-), so I hope you're wrong, too. Cheers & luck, AC
