Re: Hypothetical

    Well, that's an interesting decision.
    I don't want to ever be the sort of selfish guy who would just hop on
the Microsoft bandwagon just because it looks like longest term money. I'd
like to think that I consider the people I work and I'm not just after the
money.

    So I'd have a closer look at Sun's technologies (I've known some people
who have had good success implementing some of those servers). I'd also
consider the Oracle market. Plus, I would look closely at some of
Microsoft's market. That is so tough because the amount of dishonesty there.
I think they are the only company that has been taken to court over their
use of vaporware to manipulate the market. You know, announcing what looks
like it could really be a good solution just so that the marketplace won't
throw support behind existing good technologies.

    But I'm pretty sure I'd stick with Java if I could. You know, unless
Java disappears overnight.

If you believe that the best technology wins the
marketplace, you haven't been paying attention.

Gentlemen/women
        Assuming for a moment, that the IBM midrange line of computers
encountered an untimely demise, what in your estimation would be next best
line of technology to persue?
        There is method to my madness.
Thanks
