Thats a tough question. I don't think you will see any real changes from Fisher business wise. They cetainly were not a threat to BH in anyway. Personally I think you will see a new Fisher emerge out of this and the metal detector consumner will be the winner. BH is all about metal detectors. I think Fisher needed some stability and direction so this will be interesting. I know BH sent a lot of people there yesterday to man the phones and check it all out.
