Re: quattro vs. Quattro...

Corel bought all of that stuff from novell 3-4 years ago and now owns all
those trademarks.  A bit of trivia.  Phillipe Kahn (founder of Borland,
wrote Turbo Pascal, first product) named his spreadsheet Quattro because he
wanted to capture the entire Lotus market.  he would have too, if they
hadn't sued him dry.

If you haven't figured it out yet, Lotus's spreadsheet was named 1-2-3....
