Btw, no one won our $500 contest. However, we are rolling it over. So if you want to win $500, enter your guess about who will be acquired next here.

I know there have been changes in Pelco, for instance, the VP of Marketing recently was promoted to the 'VP of the Video line Business Unit,' i.e. Pelco. But there's still a ton of people inside Pelco plus Pelco released a slew of new products this Spring.
Oh, by the way, inside the VP of the Video Line Business Unit's LinkedIn Profile, it would appear Pelco does $435 million revenue in comparison to the $506 million it did in 2006. This is consistent from what I have heard from others that revenue is now below where it was when Schneider acquired Pelco.
