Hi, Lisa:  GO GET 'EM!  

I want you to know, I didn't intend you to receive it as an insult [see
my smiley at the end?].  I personally think the hotshot lawyer for SCO
is scamming on the public by letting this news out [keep in mind,
everything goes through him].  Will your editor let you contact him for
a comment?  That would be juicy stuff.  IBM surely has a comment of
their own in reaction, too.  Good hunting.
Thanks,
Tom
