Gene,
Enjoy your posts!
Can I use a few of your words to ask why you haven't sold your sun shares? Do you expect a share price in the low 40's for as short a term as another quarter? How much do you see on the downside of Sun?
Thank you
The world would be better is Microsoft were minced meat. Well, it would not. Others would become king of the hill.
McNealey wants the operating system to be Java based, under his control, so that he can get all of that money. He can be king of the hill and the richest man in the world.
They may end up screwing up Microsoft's business plans, but as an owner of SUNW shares, I think that McNealey's time might be spent more benefically ny managing his company. My investment in SUNW has been almost dead money for last two years.
When MSFT or any of my other stocks no longer meet my original assumptions, I'm out.
When faced with something that I don't like, I have always found that the Shirley Temple paradigm works best: Give me what I want or I'll hold my breath forever.

It is obvious that there is no connection between McNealey's brain and his mouth. At one point in the Senate hearings he said that If..blah..blah..Microsoft had not ...blah..blah our computers would be run on Nintendo's OS. My God. What a jerk. McNealey thinks that America, our society and economy would be better off if the Japanese supplied the OS for 85 % of the worlds computers.
No, McNealey wants the operating system to be Java based, under his control, so that he can get all of that money. He can be king of the hill and the richest man in the world. An ego trip by another Steve Jobs. Hubris as a substitute for technological excellece.
Last weekend WSJ Interactive had an article that said that Klein and one of his acholites from the DOJ was touring the West Coast to see what Valley mafia would accept as an acceptable result to the existing charges. Is this due process?
