That's last quarter's news. Looking forward there is more price/competition for SUNW with n-way x86, Linux, MSFT, a re-focussed CPQ, a e-commerce hungry IBM, and a re-focussed HWP. If Sun had more of a technological lead I would say you are right and they could be an emerging gorilla. They're behind in the chip race as they are releasing the 600 MHZ late in 1999 while CPQ-Alpha 600MHZ have been out for 6 months; also the Alpha threaded 1 GHZ CPU's will be coming out at the same time as Sun's. /James
