"I work with Mac and Win OS's side by side, and BOTH crash." I believe you. I didn't say that NO Macintoshes crash. I was talking about Mac OS X. Mac OS 9 will crash nicely, nearly on a par with Win 98 (although no match for Win ME's top-notch proclivity for crashfulness). In Mac OS X, on the other hand, you can intentionally write software that does horribly nasty things, like clobbering system memory or mangling the heap, or picking random memory addresses and writing garbage to them millions of times per second, or whatever, and your application will politely crash, leaving the stout and hardy Mac OS X System Software to continue going about its business. "Stick to the SUNW thread" No thanks. I don't have much interest in SUNW. I think they're a good, promising company whose share price is a little too rich for me. At current prices, SUNW is a stock for True Believers.

...they believe any rhetoric you throw at them over there [...] --- Yeah. Especially the financial documents on file with the SEC. You know, 'earnings' growth; consistantly, quarter after quarter after quarter. This last quarter we believed the 42% earnings growth (with expanding backlog) rhetoric. We believe that compares quite favorably to MSFT's 1% rhetoric. --- Don't take my word for it. Instead of listening to "we're gonna do this and this and this, blah, blah. Right to innovate, blah, blah. Any time now, blah, blah...", look at the financials and overlay that on the market trend. --- Am I being too rhetorical? -JCJ
