Greetings from Portland Maine!
I'm a former mergers and acquisitions investment banker with a background in technology companies. I was a partner at Broadview, and I thought it might be helpful to add my two cents here. I have a more positive take on the deal than the majority of posters so far.
SNIP - I don't like repeating large blocks, and apologies to those how do not keep eMails.
With best regards to all (especially those who have answered my numerous dumb questions here!), Mark
