Seriously though - the plan now is to keep the name and the Mountain View
headquarters - at least from Sun's perspective.  Those people "reporting to
Sun" (the server) will continue to do so.

Hey, there's Brand Loyalty in that name -- It may not be my favorite, but
there's still a following, and to take the name away, and call it "AOL's
Browser" is sure to raise a lot of ire.  That would be like calling a
Mac/OS, "Windows/Mac" or some other blasphemous name.  (My apologies to Wirt
in advance, but if anything has AOL written on it, it gets tossed - except
the CD's, which make great drink coasters.  Do turn them over so that the
silver side is up, and you don't have to see the AOL name <hehehe>)

Cheers,
Joe
