On a related note, what does one have to do to find out what a companies
market cap is?  I bet Be's is pretty small right now, or did the IPO never
happen?  I got sick of waiting for decent OpenGL, so I stopped paying much
attention to what happens in the Be world.  The idea of becoming a large
enough stock holder to be able to demand that they release the source
(since it doesn't look like they will ever recover) has some appeal.  But,
that would have to be far below being delisted before I could afford to
become much of a stock holder in them.
