Qwik,

The T1 is nice and is a winner because it provide you with more power, uses less power and cost less.

I really do not understand why you cannot see that by giving away the software for support revenue is another key ingredient to Sun's future success. The margins are higher on service(s) than products. It will provide Sun with a better product mix going forward. IBM made a monopoly of giving away the software to sell hardware. They did pretty well.

Bring me up to speed on OPEC cutting production and its affect on Sun.

Another Question. Does the Company believe that the free software will lead to hardware purchases?

Thank you to you and Charles for your comments
