That's no small bit of news, Micro, that's a BIG deal. I love the sound of it, something told me you wouldn't be totally thrilled with ultimate bosses whether they were around or not. ;-) I initially needed to read the sentence again about taking the whole ship with you, wondering what the reaction to that would be if you still want to sell them goods, but then I hit the at their cost part and with guys like this it's all just numbers.
Go for it, big guy, remember you don't have to do all the additions at once, even if there's a land deal or something. You can but you don't have to.
I'd ask a guy why he's living on 35 points, too, but then again he's about to be absorbed. ;-)
Just thought of it, you'll need MANY MANY computers once you're going, all with high-end graphics cards to illustrate the latest die stamps et al. Oh, and fold. :-)
