Pentax are public, they have put themselves in this position, it's not great if all you want to do is make some great products and a little cash on the side. As a public company they have an obligation to perform financially, that includes growing the company and its profit, they have a duty to their investors before they do to their employees or clients, it sucks but that's how it is. So hopefully they can avoid being taken over by convincing the shareholders that they can deliver what the market is demanding and maintain their independence. This is really a critical time for the company. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://picasaweb.google.com/distudio/PESO http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
