[Gllug] RedHat to buy AOL Rant, conspiracy theory.

[linux at formi.connectfree.co.uk]

  Hi people,

 I was reading The Guardian when I saw this, I thought it was a matter of
 instantaneous time travelling:

 "AOL Time Warner last night filed a lawsuit against Microsoft to seek  compensation for seven years of alleged unfair competition against its       internet browser, Netscape Navigator."

 Oh, and that is news. Here we go again....

 I just hope they suing each other until complete bankrupcy.

 By the way, I can't be arsed to think which of the 3 involved is worse.
 
 If somebody enjoys writing about it, I'll read it.


 Cheers, 


                                                     Formi.
