I just heard what I consider to be some rather serious rumors that I am in
the process of trying to verify concerning Sun's product line.

As I'm sure most of you have seen in the press, Sun is trying to sell off
their 386i line of hardware. Well, in addition to that they are also
rumored to be planning the end of the entire SUN3 line and any non-SPARC
SUN4 machine by December 31!!! In addition, lead times for some of these
machines have jumped to 240+ days!!

If anyone from Sun is listening, what's up???
