What a legal mess… Now SCO is threatening to counter sue RedHat which is suing SCO for suing IBM for releasing Unix code into Linux which Novell claims it owns.

Random tip from Ben:
Some methods of destroying data are preferable.
But other methods are more practical.

Ha, good thing I had an older backup. Only had to enter in 2 months worth ::whew:: …waiting for GNU Cash to be available on Windows.

12 Months!!? Blasted Quicken Backup! I backup one month ago and you don’t have any data earlier than 12 months ago?!!!
I’m switching to GNU Cash.

Yes! My computer booted! …with a fried primary channel on the motherboard (just re-routed it to the secondary channel) and semi-fried hard drive! …that’s 1 in a million or an answer to prayer.

“Thank you for your enquiry. You may have read recent press articles about a recall of Fujitsu desktop hard disk drives. All the articles we have seen to date are inaccurate, Fujitsu has made no such announcement, and there is no recall of these or any other disk drives from Fujitsu.” 

The only good brand left is Western Digital who’s drives are so reliable they work while on fire.

Update on Sco lawsuits. The Linux community, after being accused of stealing code from Sco is now accusing Sco of stealing Linux kernel code. Sco has given IBM a midnight deadline this Friday to respond to its lawsuit. If IBM does not respond it will revoke the AIX license… that is EVERYONE who bought a legal copy of AIX will have an unlicensed copy. Also the Open Group is suing Apple over the Unix trademark. What is the computer world come to?!! It will be illegal to own a computer if this keeps up!
