- Sun? Sun Micro Systems? You may have misunderstood what was being
- said. AT is planning on shipping a package such as you described - well,
- the HD may be smaller and the price higher, but close. Sun? Why would Sun
- enter this market this way?
- Sun developed Java. A browser is being developed for the Amiga,
- by third party folks, using the Java ... protocol. Language? Whatever. It
- will be Java compliant. No direct connection to Sun there.
