You sound like an American <wry grin>.  We Americans love to sue.  Go
ahead.  Anyone can sue anyone in the good old U.S.A.  All you have to do
is find a lawyer willing to take the case, and hope they (Cobalt/Sun)
don't get a better one.

While I'm not a lawywer, I'm quite sure you're not going to collect.

I'm just as interested in how much your lawyer costs you, and how much
s/he collects for you.
