This all hinges on selective cognition. Selective cognition tricks don't work on me anymore...I've read too many of twister's posts. What I said was: The "wildfire" name has been used as a code name by Sun for AT LEAST 3 years and possibly longer... This clearly contemplates an open-ended time period, including Sun using the name AT LEAST since its founding in 1982, and possibly longer. Research into Stanford internal papers might well reveal that 'Wildfire' was the name of the first 4-bit adder that Andreas Bechtolsheim built as a graduate student in the late 70's just to see if his soldering iron still worked. JC, you're losing it. --QS

...assumption that the writer of the song was not lying You've read one too many MS press releases. Steve, as a gin soaked NT masochist wearing ladies undergarments (a Brit), you know that there's more separating you from the rest of the world than the Atlantic ocean. This isn't Hatari! We're talking about Nebraska. Nobody has ever riden a zebra into Nebraska on a cold night or any other night. 'Pony' in the cowboy vernacular often refers to a horse. Anyway, either a pony or a zebra (pronounced 'zee-bra') would have died that night being ridden down from Yellow Mountain. You can't just reboot these things. There wasn't 'a writer'. There was *two writers, one of which uses his entire name, lives in the area and raises horses ( michaelmartinmurphey.com ). Do you see 'computer salesman' anywhere in there? -JCJ
