Brian & Intel Investors - E-Bay crashed their entire system last night and they were still DOWN as of 2:30 PDT. On CNBC, the E-BALY spokesman was very specific discussing the problem - WITH THEIR SUN HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE - stating that SUN personnel were actively trying to "resolve" the problem. IF INTEL and MICROSOFT hardware/software were involved, Scott McNealy would be holding a publicly televised Press COnference Howling and Hooting at the WINTEL duo and their crappy systems. EVERY MAJOR NEWS MEDIA would carry the story and embellish it with horror stories about the poor reliability of Intel/Microsoft systems. They would be all over this story like scum on a Louisiana swamp ! But it was a SUN MICROSYSTEMS FAILURE, instead ! Let's see how the Technology Media Press BURY THE SUN MICROSYSTEMS problem and avoid mentioning it ! Just like the Technology Media Press never bother mentioning that Sun's UltraSparc III CPU is now about ONE YEAR LATE FROM their original scheduled INTRODUCTION date ! Paul
