Missing the whole F***ing point (Score 0)

What is it they say with monkeys and typewriters?

Try telling a director of a billion dollar company that you have no idea why the systems crashed but you're pretty sure they'll be back real soon. Now imagine the ton of doodoo landing on their head from the board that by right of delegation, lands on you.

You buy Sun because of three reasons - stability, performance and vendor support.

I'm sure I can get a nice generic system somewhere that can match performance at a better price. Who you gonna call when it goes bye bye? Ghostbusters?

That's why in a production environment you buy what works .

BTW, I do believe in playing with kit at home that's why I build my own machines (down to the case bolts) but at work I use stuff that works.

Anyone comparing Sun kit to Yachimoto or Whosawhatsit is missing the point.
