I've been on one of those holiday things for a while so didn't chip
in on this thread when it started...Be's assets got bought by Palm
(for the affordable sum of $11M), whereupon they dissolved and sued M
$ for $23M. AFAIK the Be IP was spun out from Palm into PalmSource,
which Palm have recently had to buy back.
Cheers,
