I'm headed down to Unix Expo -- should be interesting to hear what the SCO--Novell deal means to the industry along with the AT&T breakup and NCR jettisonning (sic?). I can't believe SCO ate AT&T's USL... Little SCO now controls what's left of the "original Unix." Anyone want to guess who's going to buy NCR next? DEC probably doesn't have the cash or desire. IBM won't because of their anti trust fears. (Actually, Sequent and NCR would make a good mix -- both x86 based multiprocessor SysV boxes -- but Sequent is too small to buy em and Siemens-Nixdorf ate Pyramid.) Maybe Olivetti... So... would SCO grab a hardware company? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bill Pechter/Carolyn Pechter | The postmaster always pings twice.
