That's me, letting my breath out...
Been holding it since JT became CEO ...
I never really saw JT as the leader into the next level. And I don't think the BOD hired him to do more than what he's done.
I saw him speak at the 2006 shareholders' meeting - I think he had just joined the BOD. Per his bio, he does know microprocessors. And he seems a nice guy. Funny. Reminded me of Dave Barry, the humorist. Although I don't think there were any changes in direction under his stewardship, I do think he did his job, to get us "here".
And we should finally know where that is in early April.
This could be EXTREMELY good news. I think it portends well for the near term.
Thanks, Jim. Good luck to you! Now, Rick, its on with the program...
