RE: Joe Wilcox's article in CNET "Servers, workstations beat PC sales slump" I am glad to hear that, "The buying slowdown that pummeled PC sales during the fourth quarter bypassed higher-margin systems, analysts say." I am, however, most distressed that the table at the end of the article shows the stock symbols of the companies he is writing about: SUN, DELL, CPQ, INTC, DELL, HWP, and IBM. The author even spells out the names of the companies, including Sunoco! I just wrote the editor-in-chief, pointing out this error. Yikes! I also pointed out that the author spoke of product transitions from Intel and IBM but failed to mention the transition from Sun Microsystems (not sure what Sunoco is doing!). My disappointment impacts my opinion of CNet. Just didn't want anyone running out to get their shares of Sunoco based on the good news about server sales! dmf
