How do you know? Are they a client of yours? Or can you point to a URL in which they say that? Charles Tutt (TM)

I don't care. The programming goes along with the hardware: use IBM, use their OS, use their administration tools, have their problems; use HP, use HPUX, use their administration tools, inherit their problems. Solaris is rock solid, and the large databases (Oracle) and enterprise software have been beaten to a pulp by legions of users, and are also rock solid. For Schwab to say they won't use Sun systems until they can prove themselves as enterprise solutions is a joke. But they are probably justified in not changing technology, if they can't manage IBM systems, they probably can't manage Sun systems either, so why incur the cost of a switch over. I note, however, that both Schwab and SI are using Solaris as their front-end web servers. P.
