SCO is getting smaller and smaller

By Pamela Jones et al.

SCO is downsizing. Ch. 11 Trustee Edward Cahn has filed a motion for the sale, transfer or abandonment of certain de minimis assets. They have also signed a new lease with Canopy, and they hope the court will approve it. The new lease with Canopy is for space more than 50 percent smaller than where they've been. So, no more feet on that huge desk in Darl's office. Remember that picture? Ah, yes, 2004. The bogo accusations. I call them the Bogo Years.

Also, Cahn and SCO are petitioning the court for authority to get rid of some forklift trucks, some computers, and other office equipment without having to ask the court's permission each time and without having to provide notices for each sale. If they can't sell them, they want to be able to toss them out, on proper notice of the abandonment.

Hey, wait! Somebody buy me Darl's computer, will ya, if it goes on the block? Or throw it out in my direction. Like that could happen. But seriously, Linux works great on aged computers, as these are described as being. I'd like to give his computer new life. Heh heh. I could then put my feet up on my desk, and feel mighty fine. After some appropriate forensics.

There will be a hearing on this motion on December 30.
