[Jeff Higgins]

I think they just wanted him gone. Hell, we all wanted him gone. He was seen around here as the "great dismantler". He tore this company down from a position of greatness and leadership to one of mediocrity. He was not a builder or a risk taker like his predecessors. He excelled at selling off technology, manufacturing capacity, and real estate. All in the name of very short-term bottom line and to hell with the future. Many of us that have been around here for some time are quite worried about the future of the company and our ability to continue to build what we already have, much less continue to innovate and develop new technologies and products. Good by and good riddance; may the recovery begin.
