Myself and 2 colleagues filed a patent over a year ago with a patent attorney in Minnesota. He claimed that the cost would not exceed $5000 and he would not need most of the money until near the end. He has not lived up to his side of the bargain. Mostly these things come down to individuals. Find out who you are dealing with and make sure that you trust him. Make sure that you understand as much of the process as possible so that you can ensure that you are getting what you paid for. And remember it can up to 1 year before you hear anything and often the first thing you will receive is a letter of rejection.

Mac OS X 10.2 will cost US$129. It will be on sale Aug. 24. If you buy a Mac before then, you can get Jaguar for $19.95.
So what happens, as it always does, when the cheaters come in and create the clone army? Can we count on Jar-Jar to save us?
