Very erratic movement today in SUNW's stock price reflects the uncertainty over The Feds interest rate move on Wednesday, in my opinion.

If Feds raise rates serially, the market will go down bringing high PE stocks like SUNW down. Why would an investor want to own stocks when bond yields will be rising?

SUNW has every fundamental reason to rise based on Asian increases, other indicators and prediction, but will the Fed rate hike cause a drop in the price?

Hmmm and a fsck fail on / doesn't force you to re-install Solaris ? I've used both environs extensively. Believe it or not 95/98/NT are very stable on the desktop. Also in low to mid size file/print/web/DB serving NT does the job just fine. People buy Solaris/UNIX expecting much better uptime/reliability when in reality there is very little difference now. Even if the un-truth of 5-9's uptime on Solaris versus 3-9's on NT we are talking a matter of 8 real hours more uptime: 8751 versus 8759. As we see at EBAY and other large server installs these boxes need to go down for 4-8 hours a week anyways for maintenance/backup and a reboot to clean things up. Therefore 5-9's versus 3-9's are for the marketing folks not for IT professionals that understand these numbers. Cheers James
