Dear Rudedog: NOPE, I just read YOU. haha. OK, here is another one that disturbs me. How about your thoughts on this one. To get beat out by IBM to me at least is very humbling. JDN NEW YORK, March 10 (Reuters) - IBM <IBM.N> sold nearly three times as many high-end servers for the UNIX computer operating system as market leader Sun Microsystems Inc. <SUNW.O> in the fourth quarter of 1999, market researchers International Data Corp reported on Friday. International Business Machines Corp. sold 720 new RS/6000 S80 servers in the fourth quarter, compared to sales of 255 of Sun's flagship E10000 servers, the report said. The servers -- powerful computers that manage other computers -- are designed to run the UNIX operating system aimed at industrial-strength business uses. "This is a real testament to how well the S80 was received," said Brad Day, computing infrastructures senior analyst at technology research firm Giga Information Group. "It is a strong competitive counterpoint to Sun's high-end encumbency." Sun Microsystems was not immediately available for comment
