I was at the Unix Unanimous meeting last Wednesday, and Dave Gilbert (former
head of Velocet) was there. Now, I don't quite follow what happened at
Velocet, but I gather it was in essance a hostile takeover. Further I gather
Dave and some other senior staff from Velocet are suing for wrongfull
dismissal. As part of the wrongfull dissmissal I would gather things are
helped if Dave and the senior staff are unable to find work. So, I would
gather that (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) Dave and crew have nothing to do with
any ISP... :-) .
