10/22   Does anyone here work as Sun?  I'm pretty interested in their
        next architecture, Rock.  Any chance of it being released on time?
        -jrleek
        \_ You mean released before Sun goes out of business?
           \_ Well, that would be good too, but I was specifically thinking
              of 2Q 2009. -op
           \_ Sun is not going out of business.  They have $2.5B in the bank
              and no debt.  They've even made some money in both of the past
              two years.  Sun will keep puttering along for a good long while,
              though they will likely continue to lose relevance.  -tom
              \_ $2.5B in cash but a market cap of $3.4B. Napster, anybody?
              \_ Sun won't "go out of business". They will be in business
                 the same way DEC and SGI are still in business. I imagine
                 they are going to be acquired or go BK.
