My mistake; didn't see that news article. I'd like to know the real story behind it.

Cheers
James

Qwiksand:
My unsolicited two cents:

<And you think Sun would sue, or even publicly quarrel with, a major customer over something said during a crisis, even if the statement was false, as it was here? You may be a propeller head but you're not a business strategist.>

Excellent point. One really needs to step back and look at the reality of the situation. Anyone who deals with customers/clients should understand the difficult position SUNW is in if they were not at fault -- sometimes you just have to "suck it up" when dealing with clients and let them face the music on their own terms.

I appreciate your posts.

Regards,

Filo

Qwiksand,

RE: the propeller head James Nicoll

Yeah, but the propellers are broken & don't work right.
