Well, it seems that SCO will try to make and abSCOnder of IBM. Apparently SCO
will revoke (or attempt to do so) IBM's AIX license. Axe AIX.
IBM, for its own credit, could retaliate by ditching AIX and SCO and reorganized
its customer support to deprecate SCO (but this would hurt existing AIX installed
bases...)
So, here could be IBM's Retaliaton: Wait until 5 May (Cinco de Mayo) and then
announce the day as "CincSCO de Mayo". Apparently, SCO has been itching to
yell "MAYDAY! MAYDAY!", SO, IBM here is your chance to say SCO-SUNK
(SUBUSUNK). (or, maybe "subSKUNK"?)
(IBM, if you like this idea, then kindly repay me by your act of porting SmartSuite
over to Linux, or donating 5-year rights to it to the OSDN so non-developers can
have a Linux-native, updated, ad-hoc award-winning database called Lotus
Approach. Then, let us have Lotus WordPro, so I can have my document
divisions and sections without running SS in win98....Thanks!)
Maybe too many bongs are floating around Seaside ro Scruz or Aptos? Maybe
THIS is a new form of "Uni-Bonger"? Send out the "Bong Squad"? (Really, in
Oregon, here, a police dept revealed that a Bomb Squad responded to a school
where a "bomb" was reported. Turned out it was a "bong". Even over the phone,
if the dispatcher says, "Please spell it...again,..." it could SOUND like "b-o-m-b".
Anyway, this is not the sort of code-attack the Linux community needs (no, my
favorite imbibement while computing is coffee, sometimes water, but no other
bubblies, mind you..."
