Yes, but he chose the same moment to come out with his wide-of-the-mark joke about chip implants in peoples' necks which seemed to turn off Rukeyser (and me too).

Wide of what mark? Mark of the beast? My dog has an implant. We've been doing it for years here. Pretty soon they'll be selling RC dog kits at Radio Shack where you use real dogs and command them through your cell phone. That'd be a pretty cool thing, having your dog out in the field and able to dial him up; or to call your horse.

I'm sure Scotty has a chip. He was probably just warming Louis Rukeyser up to the concept. What he *should have suggested is an embedded JVM in a tiny subdermal Blackberry type device on the back of Louis Rukeyser's left hand with streaming realtime quotes and the ability to run instant PEG calculation applets and stuff. Get over it, Louis! <g>

Scott scored with that device "too small for Ctrl-Alt-Del" image. He needs more from that brush (IMO). He's needing to move a whole consciousness into 'the network'. There's no blueprint. He's doing okay.

More interesting I thought (and I didn't see the Rukeyser thing) is the way Scott has stepped in front of free software and the Linux Community. Sun is now flying the Apache/Linux colors with vitriol. You're hearing Scott refer to "the free operating environment". He's almost debranding Solaris.

I feel a rally and a route coming.
