HOLY MOTHER OF GOD: "If nothing else, AOL's suit only serves as an ugly reminder of the $10 billion it poured down the drain when it bought Netscape back in 1999." TEN ***BILLION***!?!?!?!?!??!?! AMERICAN DOLLARS?!??!?!?! CAN THAT ***POSSIBLY*** BE CORRECT?!?!??!?!?!! GREAT CAESAR'S GHOST, TALK ABOUT BEING TAKEN TO THE CLEANERS!! Mr. Case: "Hello there shopkeep! I'd like to purchase this empty candybar wrapper from you. How much would you be willing to part with it for?" Shopkeep: "Price is on the wrapper there, $100,000." Mr. Case: "It's a deal! Can you break a $1,000,000?" Ooooof.
