Unfortunately, and in line with their existing string of stunning 
technological blunders, the technology they claim was exported, was 
actually developed on a Caldera-funded machine in England.

One SlashDot poster was angry at the quality of crack that SCO execs are 
evidently keeping aside for their own use. I personally plonk for 
ordinary greed-driven insanity. Either way, the show must, it seems, go 
on.
