I disagree sounds like as good of place as any... especially since a number
of Sun's marketing folks hang out here, and I wouldn't be the first in the
community to say that Sun's Marketing has lost touch with Sun's customers
not to mention the Solairs community as a whole. I would think they would
like to hear what its customers are thinking unless they are convinced that
CEO's and CIO's are the only people that are importnat enough to care about.


If a member of the community would like to advocate for Sun to get back into
the sparc workstation market, it doesn't seem to be that far out of line
since they will be running Solaris on these workstations.
