Another giveaway from the philanthropists at SUNW. May be a little late for an "open alternative" to Windows. biz.yahoo.com

Tom et al Everytime I think there is some hope for SUNW as a stock I get disappointed. The chart you posted tells the story. Considering the distribution/accumulation line SUNW has been being sold for a very long time. Doubt there is much tax selling left. When I see a Dist/accum line like this I would not be a buyer until I saw a significant technical move to indicate such.. SUNW needs a miracle to pull this stock up. SUNW could ask EBAY for a percentage of their sales since EBAY is using their servers--------perhaps that would help. (Not said in jest-----) Giving away stuff free makes sense if you are enticing buyers to buy the hardware and having then access to the free stuff. However, in a free enterprize system where things are valued on how much they sell for------we are taught to believe that nothning is free. This attitude shift is not one that most people understand and accept here. And, shareholders particularly want the profits----so free seems to be just that free with no profit. I will be curious to see where SUNW takes this----. mj
