Ya got me twitty, there's no profit in Java.

By the way, here's a little follow-up to your DSS puzzle of last week. It's from Bear Stearns' analyst. Emphasis added.

--QS

DSS, the tape storage unit of Quantum Corp. pre-announced late on Friday (10/8/99) that the company will meet expectations for the current September (fiscal 2QOO) but that the December quarter (fiscal 3QOO) could come in significantly below expectations owing to (1) Y2k, (2) anticipated reduced orders from a major OEM vendor (we're guessing Compaq), and (3) the adjustment to JIT (just-in-time) inventory.

Could it be they might not be paying ONE THIN DIME to put
java in these phones?

That's possible, but not likely these days. It's not like there's competition to Java anymore; certainly not from M$.

You've got your Detroit WinCE test market from AT&T. You should feel lucky to have that (even though your guys had to cough up $5 Billion to get it).

Edit: Oops, that's called a "Showcase market".
