I still do not see a news announcement on yahoo IBM stock section. If the revenue stream was high enough, I do not think IBM would have sold the business. Hope the technology grows with the new company as it would be sad to see it in maintenance mode only...

Hard to believe it will soon be 30 years since I first worked on Microdata and Prime INFORMATION where does the time go?

I have to agree .... the crack in the door that the IBM "brand" offered
just closed with a THUD!

Sure, the new owners may well drive better integration and take the U2
products to new heights ..... but this will come at the price of the
street cred that the IBM name offered. May now be worth the trip in
November to listen to Susie speak at the Raining Data event!! :-)

Hard to view this as a positive no matter what spin is put on it.

being a part of Mercedes and then belonging to Joe's garage...

Marketing of U2 (if there is such a thing) just took a serious blow to
the
gut.

Subject: [U2] GOOD NEWS From Susie

All,
   I just got off the phone with Susie Seigesmund. She has assured me
that her entire team has been invited to stay together, Rocket didn't
just buy the software or the customer list or the channel, they are
buying into the people who supported us all along.

  More news as I have it. Also, watch U2UG.org, as we will be updating
teh front page several times in the next few days.
