Dear Charles: The Wired article was definitely edited. It was on page 4, the last paragraph as I recall. Looking at page 4 now (via the link to p. 3 in my posting), it's gone. To paraphrase the edited out part, Scott had said (after a paragraph, also gone, ending with a statement from someone that SUNW was not for sale) that SUNW was now $5., add a premium, multiple this by the number of outstanding shares, and the figure to take-out SUNW is about $28 billion (as I recall). Scott then said that he would not accept stock, only cash. Scott next said that no monopolist [but maybe it was "non-monopolist?"] had enough money to take-out SUNW. This statement was followed by a comment by the writer that MSFT had $48 billion (as I recall) cash in reserve. Curious that this section of the article was removed. Regards, Lynn
