Try java.sun.com for the pdf's for events and transactions. > I went to: java.sun.com to > read the specs and guess what, the pdf's for events and transactions > don't work. I get an error when I try to open them with Acrobat > reader 3.01. Guess what? I'll give credit to Scott for at least trying to download the documentation, but he could try harder if he was really serious...

umm...Zander meant that in the context of providing Operating Systems, Servers, Software etc... leave it to you to willfully try to twist and then ridicule what Sun is all about... its a lot easier than being right.

I love it...both sides of your mouth. Do you have a third side? Probably. Today we had: ...Unfortunately, for SUNW fans it looks like Linux is becoming the real threat to Sun because I believe it will become the UNIX of choice on Intel: [blah, blah, blah...QS] Whereas on July 14 we had: Message 5191631 "The Linux Community Is A Joke" by one Scott Mc...Mc..., oh, whatever your free name is this month.

Unfortunately, for SUNW fans it looks like Linux is becoming the real threat to Sun because I believe it will become the UNIX of choice on Intel: I would worry about microslop getting replaced by Linux before I would worry about Sun. I though the trial memberships only lasted a week. Maybe the NT stuff they use on SI can't figure this out. How do you say Not There JMHO Mike

They really haven't done much of anything. The companies driving the internet are YHOO, RNWK, etc. " ----------------------------- Scott McPealy, buddy, you are totally off the wall this time. Sun has been networking for DECADES. Sun workstations were the driving force that formed the Internet YEARS before Microsoft new what TCP/IP was, and DECADES before Microsoft finally admitted that the Internet was significant. YHOO, RNWK and others are very new players in the whole Internet and data communications world and they don't really have any idea yet how they are going to make enough money to survive. You sound like a guy that just graduated with a Computer Science degree recently and bought his first computer less than 5 years ago. Am I right? lol Visit any University and poke around at what all the grad. students are working on and what platforms they are using. Those are the guys that built the Internet. If you honestly associate Yahoo!, RealAudio gizmos, and NT workstations with the Internet, then you need a good book that describes how the Internet came to be and what is currently out there making it all happen today. I can't stop laughing. To say that Yahoo! is "driving the Internet" and Sun hasn't done much of anything. You just blew any credibility you had on this thread! LOL! Mike
