Dear Charles: I totally agree. For a few minutes earlier this morning I was expecting SUNW to trade at our "old" high--just one more 1/16th of a point. Re your previous posting: Also agreed. Maybe Schwab should replace their IBM servers with some from SUNW (and Compaq). Off to the flee market section of an antique tractor show. Regards, Lynn, empty station wagon, lots of $1.'s in her pocket, ready to fill up the car with junk... woops, "antiques."

Sun Microsystems Inc (SUNW) (http://www.techweb.com/wire/story/reuters-finance/REU20000804S0003) SUN MICROSYSTEMS INC said it would create an additional 275 engineering jobs as it doubles the size of its software development centre in Dublin over the next three years. The move will bring total employment at the site to 600 and make the Irish centre one of the company's largest software development operations outside the United States. The announcement came as Ireland, cursed for so long by a lack of job opportunities and emigration, reported that unemployment had fallen to a record low of 4.4 percent. (Reuters 09:22 AM ET 08/04/2000) =========================================================== It appears that the job growth in Ireland is doing quite well, at 4.4 percent. EKS
