Remember Informix / IBM (Score 1)

Besides, in my somewhat limited experience I have not seen company A purchase company B, only to be swallowed up whole by company C within weeks of these things happening.
When IBM bought Informix, it was only little (a few months at most - can't remember) after Informix bought Ardent Sotware (itself a young merger of VMark and Unidata)...
Wasn't that long ago!
