Hello

	Just read this on the internet....

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Software developer Corel Corp. said on Monday it
had struck a deal to acquire Internet access software and services
firm Inprise/Borland Corp. in a $2.44-billion deal designed to
capitalize on the growing Linux market. The arrangement will give
Inprise/Borland shareholders approximately 44% ownership of Corel.
"This gives us a real end-to-end solution from tools all the way to
the suite on Linux and gives us clearly the largest set of Linux
technology from any company," Corel Chief Executive Michael Cowpland
told Reuters.
