I think it will rain in Hell b4 HWP can build a server that competes with Sun's Starfire. Benchmak tests back up Starfire's performance. I am not a technical person so I can't comment on Sun's other servers, if indeed they have other servers. But I believe Sun will meet any competition head on if management thinks that it is necessary. One thing I know for certain. You can count on Sun's management to execute. And their products win world-class benchmark tests. Sun also recently won a Customer satisfaction award. In the past I owned HWP stock. In my experience, management has problems. Perhaps today's management is better, but Sun's management also seems to get better and better. I like Nokia very much. I own shares in Nokia. I wish Nokia had chosen a better business partner than HWP in the US. But Nokia's management is smart. They learn from their mistakes. If their deal with HWP doesn't work out, what they will have learned from their HWP experience will prepare them for a better future strategy. Sincerely, Mephisto
