Windows 95 was released.

Yep -- Windows 95 and NSMA share a birthday!

But I suppose NSMA doesn't crash as often. MisU?

He was probably on line to buy Win95.

6. Some Brazilian M$ psychotic shill once wrote
how open source equals communism. He yanked the article from his page, alleging "death threats." I think he was advised on how stupid the article was instead.

7. That sounds like the sort of thing Darl McBride would do!
And of course, who can forget the Steve Ballmer classic "Linux is a cancer."

11. No
I do visit the site every now and then. But SCO is SO toast that I've kind of lost interest.

I was a flaming radical GNUist militant way before the SCO freak circus. My political/technological guru is Richard M. Stallman.

Go here and read sense: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/philosophy.html

12. You're preaching to the converted, dude
As far as I am concerned, Linux may well be open source but it's the fact that it's free software that I care about.

But I still can't stop looking at groklaw...SCO is like a train crash in the slowest ever motion. Three years! Sheesh.
