Hi guys, just a quickie drive-by to remember me by: zdnet.com In the spirit of Gerald, here's a "Choice Cut" (I think I'll go to Outback tonight!): And if you look at the vendors that are egging these folks on, they're the losers of the PC revolution. Oracle and its lightning rod, Larry Ellison, have failed in the PC database business more times than the Buffalo Bills in the Super Bowl. Sun's workstation business is about the size of a third-tier mail-order PC company. Of course, they want to upset the status quo; they don't benefit from it. They just want to topple Intel and Microsoft, and Java is the key. If you take nothing else from this column, remember this: McNealy's and Ellison's responsibility is to their stockholders--not to you, the customer. Sal PS.
