Tom Yager's column in this weeks Infoworld discusses Sun's rise
in the UNIX marketplace over the last year.

Personally I haven't looked at Open Solaris, and my Sparc IPX is
sitting under a table gathering dust so I can't say anything
about the pros and cons of Solaris these days.  I do know that
Sun has considerable expertise in Enterprise UNIX solutions, and
shouldn't be ignored.

``Rights'' is a fictional abstraction.  No one has ``Rights'', neither
machines nor flesh-and-blood.  Persons... have opportunities, not rights,
which they use or do not use.
