Thanks for the info, Rudedog. Funny thing is, I also read an article on Ebay in one of the business rags just a couple days ago. It talked about the 'head of technology' they hired not long ago (from Gateway) and his mission to get them out of their 'downtime mess'. My point is even with the stats you presented on SUNW downtime, they apparently chose to upgrade and fortify their systems with something like 13 new Sun Starfire systems at around 1 million each. At the rate they are going, they should pass Dell in market cap on half Dell's sales shortly.

Regards,
John

PS - I think you commented on it some time ago, but how difficult is it to replace a Solaris system with something else? I think you intimated it is nothing like ripping out S/390, MVS, and legacy code. True??
