Hey Corrine,
ReplyDeleteI've compiled a lot of information (just by searching around on the web) on the new owners behind Lavasoft. Any interest in publishing it? I can send you links, it's just a question of tying them all together. Feel free to send me an email (if you are interested) to
Hi, RobertoP.
ReplyDeleteIt depends on the information. :) However, since I don't have your e-mail address, I have no way of contacting you.
You could add the information as a comment to Surprisingly Little Information on Lavasoft Acquisition or reply with your address.
