Steve, frankly, while I'm not usually a pessimist when it comes to this platform, I'll believe any of this when I see it. I know you only quote what is out there, but there are serious problems with the postings to date. If Samsung were serious, the news should have been out by now and it hasn't been. Samsung has always had a problem in their microcomputer divsion with serious losses and I can understand why they might want to consider picking up CA to replace their current clone line. However, the delays speak volumes in terms of their decisiveness here. I firmly believe that if they were that committed to picking up the entire line, it would have been announced in a couple of weeks. Instead we linger on by death's door. Ergo, they aren't that serious about continuing the line. If they were, the buyout would be fact and the first advert campaign would have been started. A month lag is deadly in this industry. Sad but truth. The Four Seasons of Southern California: Fire, Flood, Earthquake, and Riot.
