Yah, maybe investors are thinking that Star Office is a liability rather than an asset? Then again it could just be an example of a stock that had too much of a run up stepping into the barber shop for a well deserved haircut. Just kidding :) maybe... James

here is why sunw is down...sunw refuses to touch 90 .. IBM CORP (111-3/8, down 5 @ 10:39 am ET) stock fell in morning trade amid investor concerns over its 3Q results prompted by profit warnings by small companies with business links to the world's largest computer company, analysts said. Investors worried that soft sales of its bigger computer systems may have sapped the performance of IBM in the quarter ended September 30. Helping to spark the latest decline in IBM stock was a report by Daniel Niles of brokerage BancBoston Robertson Stephens that cited recent shortfalls at several small companies with distribution deals and other ties with IBM. Some of those companies blamed Year 2000 corporate spending slowdowns -- a trend that could affect IBM, too -- for their weaker-than-expected results.
