Harry, is that good or bad? I'm not familiar with either company or
their products.



Who really knows? The shares of Ray were almost worthless, according to
the documentation I saw. To me, at least, buyouts are not usually good
for fans of the bought-out company. Ray was a pretty decent maker of
boater electronics. I know what "FLIR" is, but I don't know anything
about FLIR systems.
