BTW - Would like to hear posters opinion about the crash on the E-Bay site. It is powered by SUNW hardware and software.

And the EBAY article on CBS Marketwatch site has a "We're the dot in dot-com" Sun banner ad directly over it! Ooops!

My reaction is that these things happen, but that this is something that can be handled right or wrong PR-wise. I hope the Sun and EBAY PR people are very public and proactive about explaining exactly what went wrong and how it's guaranteed not to happen again. The effect will be transitory if it's explained to the public exhaustively. The main potential for damage is in denial or attempts at spin.

JMHO.
