Interesting that a computer shop fellow (assuming he's not a Sun reseller) was excited about MAJC. Maybe not though. Maybe PC retailers are looking to a 'next big thing', as next generation Intel chips haven't been coming through with as they once did. Linux is a windfall for Unix mindshare. Sun is the biggest beneficiary of Unix mindshare. There are several aspects to this (developers, administrators, nix in schools, gateway to Solaris, Linux on Sun UltraSparc, ect). Linux threatens NT (low end). It's a squeeze play. Between M$ failing to come through with it's now stale promises of out doing Unix, Linux coming up from out of the earth under Redmond with a free 'community' Unix, and Sun pulling even further ahead with their 'network is the computer', M$ is in deep do-do and losing relevance quickly (buh-bye). It just may be that MAJC is the next big thing and will find great opportunity in it's timing against the M$ desktop PC sunset and the coming bandwidth buildout. If that's the case, we are WAY (way way) undervalued right now, IMO. -JCJ
