Or, says Alex Slusky, founder of San Francisco private-equity shop Vector Capital, Sun could stay independent and just fade away. Adds Slusky: "I think Sun is slowly heading in that direction." (Although one can take issue with the word "slowly"). This made me go back and look at a memorable "fade-away" computer biz story: Wang Laboratories. Of course among their many problems was that they kept hopping from one business to another, unlike Sun, which has stuck to pretty much the same strategy for ~20 years. Business is tough. Try to innovate and adapt and fade away, stick to your guns and fade away too. --QS en.wikipedia.org
