That's so sad.

A heavy day all right. As a tech journalist who was around Sun in its heyday with Scott, James and Bill Joy and John Gage et al, I have to admit nostalgia for all the great minds and fun times. Hopefully Markoff or someone else who was around then will put this in proper perspective for the Twitter generation.
