Hi,
Since noone else seems to have sent this to the list yet, I thought I would send a snippet
and a link for those who might be interested in this.
Snippet:
NEW YORK, April 20: The world's number two software company, Oracle
Corporation, today agreed to buy hardware provider Sun Microsystems Inc
for $7.4 billion, or $9.50 per share, in cash, pushing the software
company into high-end computing system.
?We expect this acquisition to be accretive to Oracles earnings by at
least 15 cents on a non-GAAP?basis in the first full year after
closing. The business will contribute over $1.5 billion to Oracles
non-GAAP?operating profit in the first year, increasing to over $2
billion in the second year,? Oracle president Ms Safra?Catz?said in a
statement.

I would, but then I'd need a little extra to actually do something worthwhile with the

sigh.. so much for negotiating a hobbyist license for 68K Suns.
At least we'll have Apollo, 98x6, and 9000/200 & 300 (crossing his fingers..)
