Gosh, there sure seems to be a lot of Sun and SPARC bashing going on in this
group lately!  First I read how we don't care about performance, then I read
that Mips has gone and talked everyone out of using SPARC and that we aren't
a serious competitor to them anymore.  Pretty soon I suppose we'll just have
to turn off the lights and go look for other--whoa!  What's this?  A 2:1
stock split?  Big OEM orders from Fujitsu and Seiko?  Vendors rallying around
ATT's System V.4?  #1 in the workstation business?  #1 in RISC units shipped?
Are we talking about the same company?  :-)
