 I'd guess on one of the video card manufacturers. There is no mention of
any hardware companies that Zanshin was working with when he got the court
order but more money would be had from a hardware manufacturer/developer
then from just 3Dfx.

Just think about who is working on 3Dfx and GLQuake compatable cards...
these are the only people that would have anything to do with it. I don't
think that Zanshin was working with SGI though because they are already
working on a full set of OpenGL drivers. To have an outsider do it would be
like saying the company that invented OpenGL can't do anything new with it.

-- just a humble opinion

Someone *could* check the court records to find out who served papers on him.

If we can find out the record of whom served him the papers than why
can't Zanshin tell us who it was? I suppose so we don't flame the company
but the deserve and it would be fun. Can anyone say AOL mail bomb?

Hm, actually I was kind of thinking of an internet ping party :)  How
many people do you think could get attracted to IRC #Quake to ping
whoever's company is doing this?  Hm.. 1000?  5000?  10,000?  hehe..
10000 people at say 30kbaud max could put out 300,000kbaud.  Thats
300Megabaud.  I dont know too many sites that could take that. 
Especially if they are running Windows NT.  It would be really
interesting to see how long we could keep them off the internet, and see
what impact it had on their decision making.
