Chris, I think you would benefit from exploring SFE's site,,,Safeguard Scientific...http://www.safeguard.com/ I think what Ampex is doing is similiar....looking at opportunities in Storage and Digital Video...setting up or acquire entrepreneurial entities to pursue the opportunities and providing the working capital and management disciplines needed at the holding company level to support their entrepreneurs... The present setup clearly sets up potential IPOs in Tv onthe Web, AENTV, Reiter and Micronet.....

Hi all - Been following AXC and this board for last 2 years but typically only lurk. This is definitely one of the best boards on SI and I appreciate everyone's contributions over that timeframe. I have one question related to AXC's move to a holding company. Do shareholders of AXC get shares in any subsidiary/spin-off that is IPO'ed? It does seem that AXC is moving towards a CMGI-like business model and I am not sure how shareholders of CMGI get rewarded (if at all) when one of the holding companies is IPOed. Any help on this would be much appreciated. Back to lurking.
