RE: Sun: A CEO's Last Stand (?)

        I've often wondered why IBM does not buy Sun.  IBM is heavily invested 
in Java.  It seems that if Sun gets in serious trouble and someone else buys 
it, say Microsoft, IBM could be in an uncomfortable position.

The business magazines are always full of brilliant hindsight.

They always know what happened, and they always know why. :-)
