Re: Tain and Tribeca merging Very interesting but stupid (who used to say that - only the oldies amongst you will know?). A little history on this. 1. Expekt and Parbet, which I think is owned by Expekt, used to be on the Prima network. 2. Tain is a software house owned 100%, I believe, by Expekt. 3. Expekt got Tain to develop a poker client. 4. Expekt and Parbet left Prima and migrated to Tain around a year ago. 5. Tain proved to be a really terrible poker client. So I looks like they have finally given up the ghost and decided to move to a more reliable piece of software. It would have been really funny if they had chosen Prima but I suspect that would have been politically unacceptable. :rollin:rollin:rollin:rollin
