So Addi, my old Sun friend, have you seen this new contraption by your old friend Sun Microsystems. What do you think? LSI INSIDE! forbes.com Sun's Ultra-Secret PC-Killer By Om Malik NEW YORK. 06:37 PM EDT—For the past 24 months, Sun Microsystems' (nasdaq: SUNW) chief executive Scott McNealy has talked about his vision of distributed computing, only to watch rival Microsoft and the PC grow even more dominant on the desktop. Now scientists at Sun Labs have come-up with a device that could bring McNealy's vision to life. Code-named the "Corona," the new machine is a much-improved version of the Java Station that received a lukewarm reception two years ago. It could reach the market as early as September. And if it succeeds, it could become the PC-killer that McNealy has long sought. ....con't ********* Sun's new device, which its makers call the "ultimate thin client," could pose a threat to IBM's business and add more zip to Sun's revenues. Sun hopes to sell over a million Coronas in 2000. Even at $400 each, that's $400 million in sales. Add in Sun's conventional line of $100,00-plus servers on the back end, and this project could bring a billion dollars into the company's already bulging coffers. It could also mean significant profits for key suppliers like LSI Logic (nyse: LSI), which may manufacture microJava chips for the Corona. No wonder, McNealy and his cohorts want to keep Corona a secret. Sounds good to me, Michael
