TV: You are listening to the print and broadcast media reporting...and spinning...SUNW's latest. I didn't see a Sun news release challenging Intel. If I missed it, give me a URL, please. You never know what Scott's going to do next ;) Intel and Sun Micro both realize there is a much bigger market out there than PC's and servers and want to be a part of the connections and the new devices that show up. Can't blame them...and can't wait for all the new toys <g> and the subsequent stock performance of our favorites. dmf

hi tony,re: sun & aol + sun MAJiC (tracking stock?) SUN MICROSYSTEMS INC said it is working on a new family of computer chips that will eventually power media-rich consumer devices such as video game machines, handheld computers, and screen phones. Sun plans to unveil its design for its new media chips, called the MAJC (pronounced magic) Instruction Set Architecture at the Hot Chips Conference, a symposium on high-performance chips at Stanford University later this month. Sun's new chip architecture will be used to create general purpose "convergence" processors, chips which will run applications that blend communications, video, sound and computing functions. ==================================================== An alliance between SUN MICROSYSTEMS INC and AMERICA ONLINE INC's Netscape said it expects a 75% increase in customers in Asia in its 1999/2000 (July-June) financial year. "We expect growth rate somewhere in the region of 75% year-on-year throughout the region," Stephen Furney-Howe, vice president for the Sun-Netscape Alliance in asia Pacific, told a news conference. He said there were "hundreds of customers" in Asia using the two companies' electronic commerce products, which were grouped together last month under a single brand called i-Planet.
