    I understand that references to large amounts of money probably give the editors here a panicked moment as they realize just how close to broke VA Whatever and company are, but that's really no excuse for such lousy editing.

    Though I admit I haven't read the story yet, and it may well have transpired that Turbolinux was sold BY a pile of cash. It does seem unlikely, however.
