I of course have no idea what the price of Sun will be in 2000. I would guess - higher. The stock price has roughly doubled in the past couple of years in the face of the Microsoft onslaught (which makes a full court press in basketball look like childsplay). With the best high end servers around, new major opportunities in data base management (huge potential), low end servers now cheaper and more powerful than NTs (scalable, et al), NCs just rolling out, etc. might do OK. And then there is Java. With IBM programmers on whom the sun never sets churning out 100% pure Java, the new JavaOS in partnership with IBM, the wide variety of potential uses for Java from computers in the enterprise to smartcards, and many embedded uses as well as the innards of hand held appliances, looks sort of positive in the real world. Will the stock price reflect that, who knows. Think it might - at least en parte. Chaz
