Did you read LKO's post? It is so funny. Glad you liked it and got it. But I was sure you will get it. Not sure if anyone else got the satire/parody or even read through it. I was hoping for rave reviews and a shot at the next All About SUNW Grammy Awards... ..or is that Pullitzer... ...but oh well....gotta read many more messages with the revealing truths that PCs are cheaper than Sun machines and have more applications and are getting better all the time...Gosh! I didn't know that at all! I thought they were more expensive, had less applications and were not improving at all !!! I am saved !!! Sun's future is doomed...after all, all that company does is make Workstations with expensive graphics cards....just like SGI which was better anyway. And HP makes better printers...and Sun does not. But wait a minute...didn't Byte magazine cover tell me that Unix is dead as soon as NT arrives in 1991 ? And didn't I read that NT will doom Sun in Wall Street Journal in 1993 and sold half my Sun stock....boy...the smartest decisions I made.... How could I have forgotten all that. I should learn to be less forgetful of such obvious revealing truths. I am glad that there are people who keep reminding me and saving me from my follies... Also, now that Nvidia graphics card is here..Sun better fire their graphics engineers, give up competing and pack up and leave and start making Wintel machines.... What is the point in competing and improving products and leapfrogging the competition and the whole competetive creative cycle ? Such a waste of time... Look at SGI and HWP, they did the smart thing of becoming Microsoft low margin OEM shops making Wintel machines running Windows... I mean they had unique features that attracted customers to their platforms but why be unique and innovate when you can join the brotherhood, stop investing in R&D, and save your investors some money and add it to the earnings per share or stock buyback programs ...or buying puts and calls on your own stocks like the PC Companies... But I digress...so I gotta go... .
