Miark: Excellent post! Kudos to you for that fine response. I can't add much to that, except to say that companies like Chrysler have weathered bankruptcy protection in the past, and look where they are today. Dennis Meyers was pointing this out in a post sometime yesterday. So there are successful companies out there (big ones) that have had the same dilemma as Mandrakesoft has now. And they have grown and prospered as a result. In this case, what doesn't kill you will make you stronger.
