First I heard that they had purchased The Edge and now I have heard that they are buying Meguiar`s.
I have no idea if it is true or what effect it may have on any of the companies involved.

Yes, you do have a link, but it`s to a media source and I wouldn`t trust it. :)
I think the media poll said Turtle Wax and Meguiar`s were in a dead heat to merge with 3M. :D

I don`t think it`ll take that long.

I guess Barry Meguiar will devote all his time now to the show Car Crazy on Speed. LOL
It surprises me that in the world of mergers and acquisitions that something like this hasn`t happened yet.

Steve, your will power is amazing. I know that I would have caved in with the last offer of $98,000,000 that you received. It is most admirable that you are holding out for the last $2,000,000 in order to see that Pockets is well taken care of. :D
