Charles, I hope your investment in JAVA goes well! I was listening to ORCL's last conference call and they say they are taking share away from JAVA with some of their software because they can compete on price. I know JAVA makes hardware but their plan was to use software as a marketing weapon. I believe if ORCL can offer a better software solution compared to SUNW that the hardware almost becomes irrelevant and people have been and continue to migrate towards lower end commodity servers (i.e., any server using Linux). The only think I can think of that might save JAVA is their own proprietary chips that might consume less power than alternatives. Alydar
