Hi PJ

I must confess I too have been here for more than a few years, and I still keep
checking more than a few times a day...

To sum it all up - thanks for being you. Yes - the world has changed, one geek
at a time. Looks like we have a lot more company now than when things got
started.

The tsunami continues to build :-)

Famoue last words PJ?

The trial is almost over

Come on PJ, you of all people should know not to make statements like that.

This has all the hallmarks of being another SCO, i.e. still in play more than 10 years after it began.

From the reports I've read here I get the distinct impression that whatever verdict we get at this point in time will be appealed by Oracle forever and a day until they get the verdict they want. If that means getting the law changed in their favour then that is what they will go for.

I think this is all down to Mr Ellison and his stubborness. Like a spoilt child he does not seem to know when to give to gracefully.

The US Legal system does not help either as we have seen from cases like SCO and the like.

Ubuntu & 'apt-get' are not the answer to Life, The Universe & Everything which is of course, "42" or is it 1.618?
