|If so, what was the response?  What was the audience attitude?

at the executive round table it was stated (admitted) that the
people who prepared the release were over zealous in their use
of the word free and that sun was sorry.  someone (rosing?) said
that it was being followed up on but that they didn't have exact
details.  i suppose that's within the realm of possibilities.

i forget the audience reaction.  most folks were busy being pissed
about the sun3 being made an orphan.
