Ouch.... slashdot picked off an old scab for me with this story. I remember this all too well since I researched the technology and founders extensively, invested in the company before the takeover, and lost the feckin lot thanks to those damn Belgian pirates. Plus, I was a graduate student at the time so I really couldn't afford the loss. If the Bakers win this, maybe they should remember all the small investors who had faith in them back in the day.

Ha - I beat slashdots's announcement.

Course, I had to do it in a post that was wildly off topic.

Personally I was hoping for a G5 laptop.... er... oh, oh..... I know..... its a waterproof floating G5 powerbook you can use in the bath, in fact, to deal with the cooling issues, you can ONLY use it in the bath. The great part is that it keeps the water nice and warm. Instead of the bubble sound for a system alert, it would just blow a few bubbles, then look embarrassed.
