Buffalo- did you miss how angry MCG became when he addressed: single use of inline tech/product via a BUYER vs. ISC "syndicating" inline tech to many buyers?
Very telling moment, IMO, which says: ISC will NOT be bought out but will sell many units to more than a few EDS makers with the first one being the partner that invests into ISC. This is my speculation, of course. MCG is right in terms of "selling to many=widest/fastest distribution of key technology embodied within the inline product".
Again, I am hopeful a partner buys an acre and brings a mule! Remember, mgt. is rolling up options as of Feb.16-- this also predicts a partner and not a buy out, unless the buy out was a 400% premium to our 100 day ave.
