I do not think that I have done anything other than point out the
obvious. I have not said anything bad about you. The plain truth is
that Sun has some of the best engineers in the world. They truly have
solved some of the most difficult problems.

I am just a disabled epileptic who spends his time building hardware
and software systems. I am working on my own projects. I have no way
to buy the company Sun, except through shares. I can see many new
profitable paths for Sun. But who wants to hear from a disabled
epileptic.

I owned 1000 shares of JAVA for 5 years. I sold them at neither a
profit nor a loss. It was just a waste of time. But I sold this stock
before the split.

I see Sun as having such potential, but the decisions of late made by
the board have troubled me. I did not make these decisions. I had
nothing to do with the board's decision to reverse split the stock.
Open source, please show me a company that is consistantly profitable
through open source. Google, no, Microsoft, no, IBM maybe (but they do
things really differently).

I am writing here for other retail investors like myself who are
wondering what has happened to this incredible company. I know a
little about computer science and am willing to share what I am seeing
with this company. My broker even knew less than I did about this
company. I have done my homework over the years on this company. I am
tired of people telling me how wonderful a crashing company is. This
company lost a billion dollars investing. I wonder if investing was
listed in the prospectus as a form of potential income. If I knew this
information when I held the stock I would have sold it immediatly.

I have written here how to use less power in clusters. I am glad to
see Sun engineers starting to use solid state memory (Flash) as
drives. This reduces energy consumption. But everybody will start
using this commodity technology. This may increase sales if and only
if customers have money to spend on new systems.

I am glad to see Sun is expanding to India. This will increase in
sales.

But the head of sales just bailed to go to HP. Why? A slump in sales.

I do not think Sun will go the way of Wang or others. I just don't see
the stock rising until... Sun has a new tangable direction.

I am currently shorting this stock, Jul 20 puts.
I am up front about my impressions and history with this stock.
I am not a troll.
