Which would be true if the rest of the market (and all the IT stocks I
watch out of curiosity) weren't all tanking again.  One would expect
Sun to follow the market in mopst cases but this announcement actually
made them stand out from among their peers.  Well, for at least one day.
We will have to see where it goes today, but I expect it will continue
to climb.  As a matter of fact, I would not be surprised to see it gain
100% from where it was prior to the buyout.
