To all parties quarreling and otherwise:

Now for something completely different: an interesting Berst Alert.

zdnet.com

You can tell from this ZD net article why I hang out on this thread and write a lot of meaningless posts. It proves that if you don't know anything about anything, but you can write a lot of meaningless stuff every single day, you can get a glamorous, high-paying job as the editor of a new-media magazine. That's what I'm practicing up for here.

Since journalists thrive on controversy, and since no one could misapprehend what Sun could do with Star Division so utterly that they would write a whole column and not even mention what the acquisition is really all about, I have to conclude that Jesse Berst just ran out of subjects and wrote this out of desperation.

Regards,

Twit...surely your remember the posts a long time ago indicating the more you posted on the thread..the more SUNW goes up... So.. smart guy as you are, you must be jesting about Charles actually gloating... It was a play on the old times...

You're still a jerk, but kinda like a family member..even though they might be acting like a jerk... ya still gotta love em...

Cheers Twit....

Roger

Well, I'm sorry if I "rubbed you the wrong way" -- it was meant in jest. Only a few days ago I noted that your reappearance might be a good sign, and this was a followup.

I can't remember when you ever showed signs of liking me. Did I miss something?

If you've had MSFT since 1993, you should be doing pretty well. In fact, almost as well as if you'd held SUNW that long:

JMHO, of course.
