Very good point FJ. I am hoping that Blevins has been seconded to POET by Apple as well. In my mind that would be preferable to POET employment.

A question for you:

Is it possible/likely that new employees including Ajit have in their employment agreement a clause that all options are fully vested immediately in the event of a merger or aquisition?

I still don't think that with the most recent hire that a buy-out should be dismissed.
