As I've said elsewhere, Sun was out of
money. AT&T bought $200m of
Sun stock at 35% over market but Sun had to dump SunOS and got to
SVR4.
I don't know if Scooter knew what he was dumping or not, I suspect not
but all those late nights when he came over to egg us kernel geeks on,
maybe he did know. I don't think he had a choice.
I seem to be missing one or two messages per day on this list to
complete the threads. No big deal, but I'm a perfectionist and it
grates.
