I hear you Andrea.

If you read FJ 's post over the weekend he pointed at an article which emphaisised the amounts of money companies have for mergers amd aquisitions and the focus on targeting game changing technologies.

I believe there is some distance to go for POET on product development viz technical kits, but I don't think MS 5 and 7 or 8 are any longer stumbling blocks for potential merger or aquisition , things could now happen quite quickly.

Provided figures like those you quote are realistic, and I think they are, I might pop over and take a look at the Dusseldorf boat show.
