I am a little bit worry about SUN now. Etrade had an outage today, and three weeks ago Ebay suffered a disastrous breakdown. If things keep on coming in this way, SUNW is going to lose a lot of server busisness to HWP, IBM and CPQ. In the old days, SUN's workstation was nortorious for its stability, and required rebooting almost quarterly. Although SUN's serves are much better, and have been improved a lot in these years, they are still not suitable enough for running mission critical tasks for the ebiz from my perspective. Lucinos
