Oh my. Just heard the news.

Congratulations and good-bye.

The spirit of Slim-Devices =will= be lost within 6-months, regardless
of what the Logitech execs may have informed anyone at your last
company meeting. It's the nature of the beast. Thats the way these
sorts of aquisitions work... prepare to transition into corporate mode.
It aint pretty... been there, done that.

On the plus side, many of the Slim Devices founders are now (hopefully)
millionaires.... so after their 1-2 year contract is over, and the
non-compete waiting period has passed, they can start another great
community driven company.
