    Business Sense?

    O.K., I've got a question: Why didn't Proxim just buy the whole Farallon package before it split into two entities? Wasn't the split precipitated in the first place by Proxim's acquisition of Farallon's hardware unit?

    Tinbuktu

    As a user and fan of Timbuktu I hope this does not adversely affect the evolution of this application especially with OS X just about ready

    netO gets another owner..

    Geez, just after Netopia told us all that everything was great, and showed us Mac OS X versions of Timbuktu and netOctopus at MacWorld, now they get acquired by a primarily PC-based company. Pardon me, but netO has been handed off between so many companies I've lost count. I hope this acquisition doesn't change their commitment to this product...

    *sigh*
