Thanks for the further enlightenment on the conference call situation. I am impressed that you had the intelligence and skill to go to IR and get the number directly as a stockholder. I will do this next time. BUT it still seems to me that filtering info through "analysts" is a weak reed indeed. I share your disdain for the knowledge and even intelligence [sic,] of the "analysts" questions as I heard them following the management presentation in the conference call last fall. Not in Sun's interest to leave their story in those folks hands and certainly not vs the individual stockholder. Convinced the current approach is just plain against Sun's best interest and certainly against the interest of the stockholders. To mount a huge Sun awareness campaign costing millions and worry about $25 to inform a stockholder is penny wise and pound foolish IMO. Your suggestion that an "Official" summary be posted on the Home Page is a good one IMO. At a minimum. One of Sun's advantages and one reason I have admired Sun's management is their openness and clarity. Hiding their light under a bushel basket or limiting spreading the "word" to a narrow group of people who are not reliable who (mis)quote them and give out misleading and just plain ignorant statements makes no sense at all. The analysts will do that anyway. Why not let others hear the real info directly? Ah well. The Sun will rise tomorrow, and the day after, etc. Thanks again for an excellent summary which we would never have had without you - certainly not from the "analysts". Chaz
