twist, I know Sun has a pretty large liability exposure to options, I believe it is about 1/4, %age wise, of Market Cap that M$ has, but I have not checked recently. That is why everyone points to M$FT on this accounting problem, they are neck deep in it. All I know is, Stock Options in my division were difficult to come by, even for managers. But you're right, I should keep up on the 10Ks, I am just too busy writing code and counting my money. JG Got my mind on my money and my money on my mind, beeeeaaatch. ;)

Sheez- I couldn't help but clicking on one of those [Ignored] posts and now I'm distracted. you don't read the 10k's do you? if you did, you would know that s.c has a huge option program. you don't here about it because all they talk about is microsoft. trust me. its there. if you take a look ( look at the footnotes) i'll be happy to debate you on it. twister- You're actually pathetic. Just go to the freezer and get the box (Sun annual meeting realaudio - sun.com - it links from the front page). In it, your Uncle Scotty (Dad?) goes into the SUNW employee stock options in some detail and says the options are being given much broader availability within the company. Go listen to that, THEN come back and debate this guy. Are you sure you wouldn't be in more appropriate company elsewhere? -JCJ
