Oh guys ! Wake up !
Hands up all those who believe that David and Goliath have the same goals
and ethics.
As my old Grandma used to say: He who expects to be treated by the same
rules in life that he himself follows, is a damn fool.
Many are directly comparing the guys at Blackdown with the _corporate_
aspirations of Sun and Inprise. Mistake. Big mistake.
Good luck

own?
