I think it will take a substantial outcry from Sun customers to convince
Sun of the viability of an '040 product.  I suggest you rally your
supporters if you're serious about making this happen.  I don't think
they've made any money on their '030 line and sales are apparently
lackluster, at least that's what the sales rep's are saying.
