That Dell at least has been a better stock than sunw or in fact any other stock (to my knowledge) in the history of the stock market seems obvious. Anyone who bought dell at any price in the past is now rich. Of course, starting today that could change but I sincerely doubt it. Comparing sunw and msft is absurd. You obviously don't know what you are talking about. Gates could buy out sunw and still have most of his money left over, so please, learn something. Yes I do use leveraged instruments, I never buy stock except on margin, and I usually use options, which is how I bought sunw 4 months ago. And as I have written on this thread in the past, Unix is sunw's achilles heel. As long as that is the visible operating system they are doomed to lose to NT longterm. Sure they may survive as a small niche player but with Unix they are guaranteed to lose everything but the engineering market. I know the nerds on this thread all love Unix and sunw will keep selling to them, but that's a very small percentage of the future market for NT computers. At the very least sunw needs to overlay a decent interface over unix the way msft used windows to hide dos's monstrosities.
