I think it's the difference between what they "have" to do and what they
"want" to do.  Posts by Bruce kinda tip us off that the appliance market
wasn't what Sun thought...

Now, going a bit further...how many of the owners of the thousands of
appliances sold by cobalt/sun are likely to buy Sun "Big Iron"?  Not
many.  Ya don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out we, as cobalt
owners, are not a potent force in the Sun universe.
