RE: [cobalt-developers] nice knowing you all!

Would you pay this for a cobalt (uh, Sun) product?

  Basic Raq3 with solaris  -  $7500
        Web Server Option  -  $1200
               FTP Option  -  $1000
       Mail Server Option  -  $1200
          Support Package  -  $1000/yr

I think not!   I think thats where we're headed...

Kiss the best turnkey server solution for the internet goodbye!

Jim

It's not true, it's a *proposed* merger, which means it still has to be
approved by the voting share holders and the board.  You guys may be all for
it, but it's not a done deal yet.  If the acquisition goes through, it is
not
planned to be completed until Dec. 31.  A lot can happen between now and
then.

I love this quote
(http://yahoo.cnet.com/news/0-1003-200-2814541.html?pt.yfin.cat_fin.txt.ne):

	However, in the long term, Sun expects to move
	Cobalt's products over to Sun's UltraSparc CPUs and
	its Solaris operating system, Schwartz said.

So much for Linux, eh?  That'll win you some friends.
