Scott McPealy, buddy, you are totally off the wall this time. Sun has been networking for DECADES. Sun workstations were the driving force that formed the Internet YEARS before Microsoft new what TCP/IP was, and DECADES before Microsoft finally admitted that the Internet was significant.

YHOO, RNWK and others are very new players in the whole Internet and data communications world and they don't really have any idea yet how they are going to make enough money to survive. You sound like a guy that just graduated with a Computer Science degree recently and bought his first computer less than 5 years ago. Am I right? lol

Visit any University and poke around at what all the grad. students are working on and what platforms they are using. Those are the guys that built the Internet.

If you honestly associate Yahoo!, RealAudio gizmos, and NT workstations with the Internet, then you need a good book that describes how the Internet came to be and what is currently out there making it all happen today.

I can't stop laughing. To say that Yahoo! is "driving the Internet" and Sun hasn't done much of anything. You just blew any credibility you had on this thread! LOL!
