The end is near for SCO (hopefully)



Putting aside the unrepentantly sleazy nature of SCO's management, does 
anyone feel at least a tiny bit sad about the passing of SCO?

I have a college buddy who made a good living in the early 90s selling 
SCO-based POS systems that supported up to 150 serial terminals on a 
single x86 box.  Yes, GNU/Linux and Solaris would be able to do the 
same, but not for a number of years.
