[Avid-L2] Re: [pr] Avid reports 3rd quarter earnings

Layoffs can be expensed so doing it now makes it easier to sell. And, $6 is sure cheaper than $20 which is when I think they last tried to sell the Co. But what are they selling?

If it is the MC, then a buyer would want the engineers, yet Avid seems to have laid them off. (Which raises the question WHO is building V6?)

Keeping marketing may mean they will take the Liquid path. Once finished, they layoff the engineers and simply sell V6 as long as they can. Since I think the vast majority of sales are to the installed base -- they need only a few marketing folks. (PR is out-sourced.)

I'll bet the company could run on less than a 100 people. In fact, under 50 would do it.

Then Avid joins nearly every other NLE as I don't think anyone will buy the code.
