I bet they'll go for the *licence* *g*
On the other hand, being unable to sell Grafitti anymore could force PALM to
use some more decent processors in their devices, along with some *real*
HWR, and while they are at it, they could also wind up with a unit of usable
display-size, and a GUI that does not suck...or sell their whole camp to
Apple.

Uhm, if Xerox starts to sue all the companys who sto..."gained inspiration"
from PARC, there will be trouble...
