I don’t know. I’m kind of glad that two of my least favorite companies are working together.

CA Technologies was much worse than Broadcom in its heyday.

Three of their top execs - CEO, CFO, and head of sales - went to federal prison on securities fraud, conspiracy, and other charges. The CEO, Sanjay Kumar, who was at least partly the fall guy for co-founder Charles Wang, served 10 years.

Being acquired by Broadcom could only have been an upgrade, as strange as that may sound.
