Oh, they still have cocktails, nice... > There were many talks about Linux and similar issues (like StarOffice > etc.), but with no direct link to Linux. Yeah, I wonder when they finally issue a statement about their hebrew in Star Office, what about the job that IBM did in Open Office, etc... > By the way: did you know that Sun is going to release Linux-based > blades?

The blades are from their bought company - cobalt. They're doing all the work if I understood correctly from someone in Sun USA.. Impossible price of $1k? why not? Blade 100 costs $977 and I imagine that a 1U version of this as a blade should cost the same. After all, not many changes between them, and don't forget that it's a starting price. Add a 2nd Sun network card and see how the price climbs... > More than 1000 people joined the cocktail, and after the formal part > there was a perform of Shalom Hanoch. Nice.
