[Paraphrasing] "Boo hoo hoo <SOB>. We gave you fifty million bucks seven months ago, and part of the deal was you were supposed to inform us about anything untoward happening in your company during that time. Now we find out our fifty million bucks is only worth twenty five million! Our sources also tell us you're now the laughingstock of the tech industry, the people you're suing (IBM) are thrashing you within an inch of your lives in court, ... And you didn't mention a word of this to us!" I guess VC's don't read /. I don't know who's dumber; SCO or the Viet Cong ... er, Venture Capitol. No matter. The real driving force behind it all (Microsoft) can now pick up that fifty million bucks worth of stock at half price. My advice: Go back to "The Young and Restless" or "As the World Turns." They both have far smarter script writers, and one heck of a better plot line. Who would be stupid enough to just sit and watch twenty five million bucks evaporate?!? And they say we techs are expensive! Boo hoo hoo! <SNIFF> -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
