HO HO HO! CBS Marketwatch accidentally quotes Fleck! cbs.marketwatch.com More of the same from Silicon Investor's BillF: "In many ways SUNW is simply reaping what they have sown. For years they prided themselves on being odd-man-out, going their own way, and badmouthing everyone else in the industry because they caught the first wave of the Internet build out. The industry may have been slow to respond but they have and SUNW can expect little sympathy from the likes of IBM, HWP, MSFT, INTC, CPQ, DELL, and EMC as the roles reverse in the coming second Internet wave." If you thought BillF had it out for Sun from that excerpt, take a look at the rest of his post: "A few years from now will SUNW be seen to have been another SGI? They too were once at the top of the heap preaching the 'we're different, we're better' line. Their peak came with the release of "Jurassic Park" in 1995 and the association of SGI with dinosaurs was in retrospect sadly ironic. In SUNW's case, 'We're the dot in dot-com' may well prove similarly ironic in summing up the rise and fall of a great late 20th-century success story." Last I saw, Fleck wasn't a "disgruntled SUNW investor"...more likely a "gruntled" SUNW short!<G>
