Cisco's purchase of the Flip line of camcorders from Pure Digital Technology Inc. was great reading.  At a time when all seems down and out in the tech and financial worlds this deal shows that ingenuity is alive and well in the USA and the world. 

I will not go into the details and history of Pure Digital Technology Inc., but it is well worth studying.  The key take aways are that good ideas are always around the corner and that companies will be big money for good businesses.
