Okay, your reply has prompted me to ask a question I've had for a long time: As a shareholder, how does Java add to SUNW's bottom line? Should I, speaking purely as a shareholder, be excited about Java? There sure are a lot of press releases that have come out of SUNW over time about Java. I just don't understand how Java translates into dollars and cents to SUNW's balance sheet. Does, "Over 150 Sun Partners Attest They Do More with Java Technology," and/or, "Dell, HP to ship computers with Sun's Java software [two news releases yesterday]," translate into SUNW profits? If so, how--and an estimated how much? Lynn
