What are you worth ? The prominent Computer Scientist Nicklaus Wirth ('Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs') was once asked, how is his last name pronounced ? To which he replied - "if it's by reference then it is 'Virth' and if it is by value then it is 'Worth'". Jeroen Bekkers of Suite 75, a Groove Partner in his weblog - "Mmmmmm interesting, Groove partner Documentum buys Groove competitor eRoom". What is also very interesting is the price paid for 'eRoom' -  Documentum closed at $10:50 (10/07/02) and that puts the eRoom price over $90m. Does that give us a clue as to what Groove is worth ? 6:10:16 AM
