Hi Sonki - I was just telling Dennis that I liked IBM (it was at $88) only two weeks ago as a good choice for diversification. I am now buying GE for diversification. A STATE of Emergency was just announced here in California because of our electricity blackout problems. I believe both GE and SUNW are good choices as this problem resolves itself. GE produces the efficient turbines and SUNW produces all those internet appliances that will monitor and control the electric Home and business usage. For example, if these SUNW devises can turn on and off and schedule appliances for off peak usage times it will help users more efficiently utilize the current available electricity. This alone will help conserve and save electricity. The new colbalt servers connected to JINI and other simple internet devises can be installed by businesses and homes to better distribute available power (ie. prioritize devises). If these servers are tied into a centralized network, all the devises in the network can be monitored and controlled w/o the need for floating grid blackouts like we experienced today in Silicon Valley. I hope SUNW comes out with such products and services asI know many users here in California would purchase them now over the alternative of forced blackouts! EKS
