IBM=Rock and SCO=Darl's head
SCO would be Bambi,
IBM would be Godzilla.
It's a short flick :)
So SCO sues a HP user, HP steps in and claims the counter-suit. HP knows a good deal when it is tossed to them...
I for one like our new nuclear capable virus overlords.
SCO will be happy to have a new item included in Unixware to crow about.
