As the subject says - yesterday, Farnell (owners of Farnell, Newark and other
brands), bought my favourite PCB package company for a reported 12M euros.

Just hope they don't screw it up...

Edit:
FYI:

1. From Farnell: Link2 & Link2

2. From the Link2 eagle.userchat.eng group...

Interesting indeed - and exciting, too!

It is true, Farnell has acquired CadSoft yesterday.
But don't be alarmed, everything will continue as before.

Our German office has moved into a new building today, so
it may happen that tomorrow we can't be reached by telephone
or email for a while, since that's when the phone lines will
be switched over. We'll do our best to minimize the blackout,
of course.
