It seemed nice... (I wonder where it is now?) ObjectShare is trading right now at 44-cents/share - an amazing 18.92% increase so far for the day (up 7 cents). Perhaps that outstanding stock price reflects the outcome of some of their decisions? [I believe my last purchase of ObjectShare was somewhere in the $10 range... sigh.] - Dave Rivers - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
