Just caught up with all the reading. Seems to me that the value they gave on FORE was the value of the close on Thurs. Still a far sight from what I paid for my shares so anything from here on up is cool by me. Had to go buy a new monitor after drilling holes in the thing it just didn't work any more:) You guys are great and all a little crazy, Have a Great Easter! Jeff

London, April 4 (Bloomberg) -- General Electric Co. Plc, one of the U.K.'s biggest manufacturers, is in talks to buy one or two telecommunications equipment manufacturers to expand in the fast-growing electronics industry, newspapers said. The Sunday Times, Sunday Telegraph and Sunday Business all said the company, which is selling its Marconi electronics systems business to British Aerospace Plc, will pay more than 1 billion pounds ($1.6 billion). The Times said it would buy a U.S data- networking maker and possibly the telecommunications business of Robert Bosch GmbH of Germany, while the Telegraph said GEC is believed to be interested in the data-networking business of First Data Corp.; Sunday Business said GEC is examining several targets including Internet-product maker Fore Systems, Inc. A spokesman for GEC, which last month agreed to acquire U.S.-based Reltec Corp. for $2.1 billion in cash and assumed debt, declined to comment. Reltec makes devices that help local phone networks carry more calls, to expand its communications- equipment business.
