The big question is, what does SCO have to sell after the courts
have affirmed that Novell didn't sell them the Unix copyrights?

Whatever happened to Tarantella, a very interesting product that
was developed by SCO, and that did not go in the sale to Caldera?

At one time, most of our business was with SCO, first Xenix, then
Unix, but at this point this has dwindled to almost nothing as
the SCO clients have moved to Linux inside.  We still have a
number of clients running FilePro, and my big concern is who will
support them as the FilePro knowledgeable support retires?
