If I understand well all that remains now is for Dell to file a statement of use and pay a token fee ($200 for 2 classes) and it will be registered. The question now is what will Dell do next (ie will they abandon it or proceed to registration knowing that the world is watching them, and in the latter case what are the options for the rest of us?). I'm hoping that someone who knows better will comment on this, but I'd say things will be quickly clarified when people get back to work tomorrow. Sam Hi Robert,
