There is an update at:
	http://www.techweb.com/wire/finance/story/INV19981122S0002

For those that just want the details: It looks like it's a merger not an
acquisition. From the bit I read, Netscape would become part of AOL. Sun
is also talking to AOL:

	"Also involved is Sun Microsystems,
	which is talking to AOL about 
	development and a marketing 
	agreement involving e-commerce 
	and new Internet devices."

My interpretation: Netscape continues producing Mozilla, AOL brands it
with their name. Microsoft loses more customers. I don't see Sun taking 
over the development of Mozilla.

Am I wrong?

Blair.
