WOW -- thanks, suz -- and more:
It was unclear whether any formal
announcement about the deal, which also
involves Sun Microsystems Inc., would be
made before financial markets opened
Monday. But the person said that under one
scenario the $4 billion, all-stock transaction
would leave AOL to run Netscape's "Netcenter" Web site and to distribute
Netscape's popular
Web browser, the software that lets people view information on the Internet.
Sun Microsystems, in turn, would benefit in two ways: It would take control
of Netscape's business-level "server" software, and it would enjoy
widespread distribution among AOL's 14 million subscribers of its Java
technology for running Internet programs.

Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they
should live next door and just visit now and then.
