Serius was acquired and technically kept as a solely owned subsidiary 
by Novell.                                                            
                                                                      
When Network Multimedia was formed I think that that was essentially  
selling off the                                                       
Serius subsidiary. I remember talking with Ed about this at the time. 
We could have                                                         
gone back to the Serius name, if we wanted to. Ed didn't want to.     
                                                                      
With the bankruptcy of Network Mutlimedia, the assets went back to    
Novell. Which was                                                     
primarily the code. We only had a license to it anyway.               
                                                                      
I don't know if the trademarks and other rights went back as well.    
The rights to the Serius name may still reside with Network Multimedia
and Ed Firmage.
