That's the way that I see it also. Making me wonder exactly how much "remodeling" will actually occur? I believe that he's closed it in spite and that it will stay that way until he's gone.
Oh yes. It's on the north bank of the river. Before we built the new house it would sometimes run through the old place. The new ballroom will have to be on a barge. :)
Extensive treatment of this in this morning's WSJ. Won't post the whole thing here, but it's essentially in agreement with above observations. Basically, some dislocation of software, yes, but nothing very dramatic, especially for existing large dat…

@hank- I ain't no "metal guy". As I've mentioned a few times, having everything in supposedly safe MMKT funds, CDs and Treasury may (or these days, may not) be safe, but it's surely totally boring.
Most of the posters here certainly don't come acro…
