Well I should know better then to try and debate anything with you twister but hey it's Friday and things are slowly. Looks like McPeely is the only person posting to you. Tell me how many NC were available in 1997 for sale? Did Sun have one? Tell me how much software was available for the NC? How many FAT PC makers made money in 1997? How many chip manufactures made money 1997? If you can convince me of the real facts then you are correct the NC is dead. The problem I have is that the real facts tells me that the NC is just getting out of the gate and you say it dead. Lets not jump to conclusions so quick. Mike

Scott McNealy Takes A Dive As Politics Prevails Over Principles techweb.cmp.com Scott, you call yourself a "libertarian," but you sure don't act like one when your own ego and pocketbook are involved. Do you have any guidelines limiting what you'll do to handicap Microsoft? Do you really believe you can instigate government activity without inviting new legislation? Is winning the game so important that you'd surrender any principle you might have, even if it meant delivering the industry into the hands of slavering bureaucrats eager to help us "solve our problems"? Or maybe you're so consumed by the contest that you're not thinking two moves ahead. In your newfound zeal to make Sun a "good corporate citizen," which your PR people explicitly define as "not challenging the government," you seem awfully willing to cast aside former partners if they displease your new masters in Washington. Today it's Elvis. Who will you sacrifice tomorrow?
