"Straight male" ?? "simple man"??

OT
It's possible everyone here other than myself knows the answer but I have been curious for some time now: what does the (SM) stand for?

Since he's been a heavy investor in Sun Microsystems as it's slid all the way down to penny stock land, around 95% off its highs, I imagine it stands for S&M. :-)

OT ... Robert O,

(SM) usually stands for "Service Mark", similar to (TM) for "Trademark". sei.cmu.edu

My interpretation, not necessarily accurate, is that TM is used for a product, while SM is used for a service.

Regards, Ron
