Part of reorganizing involves killing anything that does not contribute to
the bottom line. Then if that's not enough they start killing off less
profitable divisions. Their goal will be to trim down to their core
competency.

There may or may be some short term deals our there depending on what comes
out of the woodwork but one thing's for sure, once they are through
reorganizing don't count on support for anything over 7 years old.

Thanks,

They're trying for a re-organization.

Looks like their sales were off 70% last year.  Went from ~40 million Euro
in 2008 to ~12 million in 2009.  Ouch!

Could be some good deals on old inventory...

Cheers,

Jeff
