- Possibly the other explaination is an employee of another workstation
- manufacturer wrote the article. WSJ and most other magazines have a
- staff of writers, and they allow freelance writers to contribute. If
- the isn't a huge bias, they probably would allow an article to go like
- this (if it were written by a Sun Microsystems employee, they probably
- wouldn't have printed it).

- I wouldn't worry about 2% of market share, the volume is going up
- quite exponentially, I think 2% is a bunch of machines, but part is
- due in part to SS10's not being available, and new stuff for the new
- chips making people want to wait and see what up next.
