Count that Texas at beginning, it should be 2 down, 19 to go. I don't think DOJ will drop the case. Klein hasn't pay enough divident to Barksdale yet although Mr. Barksdale already got hundreds of millions in AOL/NSCP deal.

<I'm still confused about how Netscape being driven to merge with AOL is supposed to make this case moot.> Let me help you out there Dan. If an industry has a predatory monopolist that effectively crushes all competition, then that industry would not be very attractive to newcomers. In other words, if the DOJ's case had merit, no company would pay 4 million dollars to get into the market. Needless to say, at least one very knowledgeable and successful company feels it is worth over 4 billion dollars to be in this market which our quasi-economist cum political enforcers say is devoid of any viable competition, hence impossible to compete in.
