Dear `Spots Readers: (Editorial Note: This message included a letter from Todd Bernhard of Sun that he requested not be published in Sunspots, so I elected to abide by his request. The main text of the message was in regard to the recent posts regarding product shipping delays from Sun. He indicated that many Sun employees felt that the articles were somewhat "harsh", but felt that they should not officially intervene in the spirit of keeping Sunspots of "independent" journal. I have been attempting to reach some sort of Editorial decision regarding these types of articles, but for the large part have been passing them unedited - but obviously I would rather not see Sunspots turned into a "flame Sun" forum. Let's all take a moment to remember that Sun is a large corporation, and as such will inevitably run into product delays, especially on the newer, more highly sought after machines. We all love constructive criticsm, but raw flames seldom achieve anything. :)) [text of letter deleted] Its easy to grow frustrated when the company which produces the technology you love grows so fast, that their ability to follow on with Service goes down the tube. We can only hope that their silent moderation of this Digest results in positive action. So it appears that this forum may be the most suitable to air our comments. But let's all strive to do so constructively. Enough said. :-) Gregory Miiler Technical Staff Prime Computer ECAE Software uucp: .....sun!nosun!cvedc!gam Beaverton, OR 97006 Internet: gmiller@cvbnet.prime.com
