Yeah, I've seen quite a bit of Highlander-type philosophies about Unix in

I suspect they are also abandoning it for Windoze and BSD variants, so Mr.
McNealy's comments can be directed at more than one enemy.

Isn't that 0.02 * 1.25 = 0.025 Euros now? :) I think Euro started out
one-for-one with the dollar, but since dropped to .80 of the dollar?
