Re: "SUN, Cisco, EMC & JDSU , my biggest holdings are all getting wacked, the 2nd day in a row...especially EMC & Sun... Any ideas?" Maybe, this?? Just where are all those UltrasparcIII systems you said you saw? Still MIA! biz.yahoo.com "IDC's Q1CY00 server market report shows IBM midrange UNIX market share at 24.6 percent compared with 21.4 percent for Sun Microsystems.IBM share of the midrange UNIX segment grew 50 percent year-to-year from 16.4 percent to 24.6 percent. Sun Microsystems UNIX midrange market share grew 2 percent from 21 percent to 21.4 percent. IDC defines midrange servers as systems costing between $100,000 and $1 million. The IDC Q1CY00 report also underscores the immense popularity of the RS/6000 S80, the world's most powerful Web server. With 982 new S80's sold in 1Q00 versus 328 new Sun E10000's, IDC sales figures show the S80 continues to outsell Sun's flagship server by a three-to-one margin.When the Q1CY00 numbers are added to the S80's already record-setting volumes, they reveal that in the six months following its introduction, IBM sold almost as many S80's as Sun has sold E10000's in that product's three year history(a)." P.S. All the IBM hype in this article about Copper is pure B.S. In the .25um technology (these systems) generation, Copper BEOL has ZERO advantage over aluminum. However, at .18um and below, Copper BEOL will show increasing degrees of advantage. THE WATSONYOUTH
