A comment on that acquisition -- the press release seemed to suggest rather
strongly that AOL did this in order to ensure a future for the software on
which it has based some of its search systems.  There was nothing to
indicate that AOL plans to enter the search tools business.  If anyone
hears otherwise, I'd be very curious.

By the way, the rumor of that acquistion has been floating for a year or so
-- glad to see that it can finally be laid to rest!
