I call it, the SparCobalt, in honor of my status as the MacRaqian on the
list.  

Seriously, they are cannibalizing from Cobalt it seems.  However, this may
be highly useful, a general purpose machine that acts like a cobalt, prices
like a cobalt, smells like marketing.  I do have an affinity for the smooth
power of RISC architecture boxes, and apparently, the army does too.

What says you Bruce?  Any collaboration between the cobalt folks and the low
end server (I resent my box being called that) folks?

And what about this article:

Sun abolishing offices and just storing everything on their network?  Do you
do that?
