We certainly do not want to jump on CSY's stage, to paraphrase someone else.
Why don't we wait until the rumored announcement and see if indeed Interex
would be impacted by the announcement. With all the rumors, secrecy and
comments, it's hard to figure out what to think or what to plan for.
Tomorrow at dawn, I leave for Comdex. I will be at Comdex on the 14th. I
wonder if HP will make an announcement there. Wait and see,and hope for the
best.
Denys, in the backyard.
