The Boston Globe reports here
http://www.globe.com/dailyglobe2/019/business/AOL_reportedly_in_talks_to_acquire_distributor_of_Microsoft_rival_system+.shtml and on the front page of the business section of today's print edition, that a rumor says that AOL/Time-Warner is in discussions to buy Red Hat Software. All companies involved declined comment, so no-one has denied it at this point. I find this interesting, to say the least. On the one hand, AOL has been funding the Mozilla project for years now, and Mozilla has really become a top-notch browser at this point. On the other hand, AOL's Internet service, at best, sucks, and the Time-Warner people are noted for being heavily behind such hell-spawn acronyms as the DMCA, the RIAA, and the MPAA. Anyone else care to speculate on this? :-) -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.
