 From there financials it looks like that could happen any time anyway.  If 
you  were looking for a job in technology, (where you have experience and can 
get better pay) are you better off leaving SCO or getting laid off by SCO?

After seeing "The Incredible Shrinking Company" for the past two years, anyone 
with two brain cells to rub together understands that there is no future 
there.  If they are not actively looking, their family will be on the streets 
this summer anyway.  Only a matter of time.

OTOH, Are you seriously saying that you do not have a few months living 
expenses saved up, in this job market?  If not, see a financial adviser come 
January 3.  Make it a new years resolution.  It takes the white knuckled wide 
eyed look out of the routine layoffs.  You will sleep better.
