Mr. Mcpeely, nice of you to drop by for a visit prior to donning your hockey mask. One question. The javaone event was SUPPOSED to be your crowning achievment. sunw's statement to the world that java is the savior, for them and for sunw. but your stock has done nothing but TANK since the conference started. it hasn't even given you another opportunity to sell more of your sunw holdings, and since this is going on THREE MONTHS or so since your last sale, it's making you antsy holding shares. Mr. Mcpeely, I also noticed a curious increase in the short interest of sunw. sunw is now one of the most shorted stocks and there is NO merger arbitrage going on. I know, your outstanding results and java will squeeze the shorts and push the stock higher and higher. Enough. I know you have a game to get to.

Mr. McPeely, I trust you had a wonderful time in SF at the love...I mean Javafest. It must have been a bittersweet period for you being that hwp kind of put a damper on things before the fun started. You would've thought it wouldn't be so easy to reverse engineer JAVA. You don't think...naw. Bill doesn't have his gang up in Redmond in a clean room doing the same thing to JAVA. That wouldn't be like him now would it? Anyway, I'm glad you showed up here cause I was being outnumbered by nasty people and you seem so...so...rational. But have you noticed that all these guys are chomping at the bit to buy some sunw if it dips below $40? I guess they don't care that you and your cronies produced a list last year four feet long of sell transactions, which you must report to the SEC. I think most of those sales were at prices in the 30s, about where they want to "steal" some bargains from the "dummies" on WS who don't understand sunw, and a short sighted (I guess) management. Hey, you guys understand sunw, don't you? WS sure doesn't!!! Why on earth would you ever sell a share knowing what you know about the future of JAVA and how all of this value will accrue to sunw shareholders? If you can't answer now, that's ok. I know you're busy Mr. McPeely. It's friday, the Sharks are on, and you have a pizza to pick up. By the way, does your wife ever ask you to take that big ole' JAVA ring off when you...you know?
