And, yah, CA doesn’t even enter the thought process. We knew better.

They were trying to impress us with all of the services and products they offer besides just threat protection.

We were not impressed.

I take it you were still back at the University? Why would Symantec employees be running their mouths talking about acquisitons?

Yeah, they do gobble up quite a few companies, though its difficult to see what the strategy is behind that. For instance, you can see what McAffee is doing with their acquisitons, as each company fills a hole in their product offerings.

Symantec, not so much, and CA even worse.

I am not surprised.

The last time I sat in a room with Symantec people they were talking some very shady business about acquiring companies.
