Interesting.
I think were you privy to some of the inner workings and sheer demands on the management team of the Group, you might think otherwise. As you will see going forward, the McIntosh Group is moving in a way that would make it difficult for them to keep ARC at the forefront of its niche while also achieving all that the Group are pursuing on the Mac and Sonus faber fronts. This move allows both the Mac Group and ARC to focus on their own strengths and paths. IMO, both companies and our industry are better off for the change.
I have many friends in both places who are very, very happy today.
