On this date, cat_herder_5263 posted message id 223408 asking if anyone had archived the Yahoo SCOX message board. In SCOX message id 223465 I (spamsux99) replied that yes, in fact I do have an archive. I stated that anyone who would like archived copies needs to grant me permission to redistribute/republish their comments.

As you may know, at any time SCOX may either run out of cash, or lose their desperate legal lottery attempts to extract licensing fees from linux users.

Something interesting in Bert Youngs report: "Great Darl, thanks. The company reported revenue of 11.2 million for the 3rd quarter fiscal year 2003 as opposed to..." He reported income from 2003, not 2004 :) ------------------------------------------------------------ The text of this Yahoo Message Board post has been licensed for copying and distribution by the Yahoo Message Board user "spamsux99" under the following license: License:  CC Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike v2.0 ------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile IBM decides they like linux, so they start their AIX programmers who have had ...
