BobChar, what happened to MKRS or rathered happened to us stockholders was Meaney's myopia, thinking bigger than IBM, hiring his son-in-law, and then finding little interest in his pea-size MKRS.
It reminds me of an electric utility that I once worked for. They got a guy posing as a farmer to buy some farmland along a major road who in turn sold it to the electric company in return for a Manager's position. The local farmer knew he had been lied to and cheated.
Meaney and Malone made out very well on our backs.
