Ray, you should change the heading....;-)

Yes, who would ever have thought that the company which originally
developed UV would be worth 2,100,000,000 USD.

Vmark merged (tookover Unidata) to become Ardent.
Ardent bought Prism (I think).
Informix tookover Ardent (At least that is what they thought)
Informix split DW products off into Ascential and sold DB for
1,000,000,000 USD IIAC
Ascential sells to IBM for 1,100,000,000 USD.

I wish I had of kept my Vmark shares. Ray D, do you still have
yours.....

Cheers,

Phil

They (IBM) paid US$1100000000 for Ascential. And that's not a binary
number!!
