This page will be used for your comments and responses. If you don't like the way the company is run, sell your stock. Finally, someone is looking into the management that cost me more than $60,000 Lost my retirement...had to go back to work If they broke the law they should go to jail with the other crooked executives Mr. McNealy is such a nice young man.  He wouldn't do those bad things. Impressive.  Kicking ass or an ass? Stop badgering Sun and go find the "real" bad executives I share many of your concerns about Sun -- from Scott McNealy's leadership, to questionable legal issues that have not yet come to light, to concerns that the wheels are indeed falling off rapidly (with Joy leaving yesterday), etc. DAMN!   Looks like all the rats - including the head rat are bailing out!  I knew I should have sold when it hit $5!  I can't believe how much money I've lost on the stock. As a stockholder and a customer, this is very disturbing!!! Yup, leadership is the missing link at Sun. Part of the problem is using Sun Sigma for everything BUT building good hardware.  What a joke. McNealy  and other executives were recently granted millions of stock options after reporting fourth quarter earnings below Wall Street expectations.  With the latest revision, they should be put in jail with the other executives who lied and stole.  A cheat is a cheat, regardless of his title. This website is GREAT!!! Wish I knew about it before I bought SUNW.  I would have never sunk my money in that rat hole.  Gotta hold - lost too much to sell now.  Maybe a takeover or something. Cutting my losses - there might be more surprise announcements Blaming the SEC is like a football team blaming the referees.   The sun set for me Monday. Eager to see info posted on class action suits. merrill in bed with microsoft?  i wish someone would investigate that. Scott, it's time to turn the lights out and go play golf full time. You had a nice run. Hire Americans!  Hire Americans!  Hire Americans!   McNutt has to go. One of Sun's  problems is Scott McNealy's obsession with beating Bill Gates. customer service is lousy because of low morale...people are looking for other jobs, not solving my problems Selling products to Syria is a serious national security issue. I did not know about this.  I spoke with others who had not heard about it either. The government should look into this.  Your website is doing a great service.  Keep it up.   ask not what you can do for your country; ask what you can do for China Your editorial is mean spirited.  Scott is doing a great job. Stop riding his back. Signed Kenneth Lay and Jeffrey Skilling I made a lot of money on Sun the last couple of months.  But, after reading your editorial and doing more research, I am outta here.  Thanks for the insightful article. If you asked McNealy if he is better off now than he was 2 years ago, what do you think he would say? your open letter did not mention that Spurrier called in his resignation from his cell phone while playing golf.  If Scott did the same, it would improve both Sun and his golf game. Your editorial mentioned the decrease in gross margin.  Do you know what caused the decrease? I dont understand if things are as bad as your editorial indicates, why is the stock up?  Are you saying its going to fall below $5?  Should I sell if it falls below $5? ...if the board took your advice I think the stock would immediately jump $1...they are just a bunch of  "good ole boys" you are on the money on forced ranking. i was a victim love the expression "maelstrom of bad press"...nice way of saying many F*** UPs how does the third quarter look?  heard any guidance from Sun?  don't sell, just pray the dollar gets weaker incredible editorial...McNealy should be one of those Imus spoofs, like Nixon and bubba Clinton the answer to both your editorial questions is "HELL NO" used Sun computers for Defense Department systems for more than 10  years...it is becoming more and more difficult to justify the use of Sun for non-mission critical applications; just  look inside the Middle Eastern command centers and you'll see nothing but Dell's in the front office McNutty is obsessed with Gates; as a result Sun has been hurt. There are some good things about forced ranking.  Give me a week and I will tell you one. Does anyone know if you can be part of a class action lawsuit if you got severance pay? ...another reason Scott did not learn from Ford - he was  too busy attending the Jeffrey Skilling School of Business at Enron University... ...I think the departure of Bill Joy says a lot.  However, now that Andy Bechtolscheim is back, I'd like to talk with him before writing-off the company completely... ...departure of Sueltz makes me nervous about my Sun stock...as an insider she knows something we outsiders don't... ...Which CEO has hurt his/her company more - SM or MS?...Neither will leave a legacy that one can be proud of. Hey, you got it wrong.  The Sun Micro Board is not asleep at the switch.  They are just waiting for someone to takeover the switch.                               Signed,                               The Boards of Digital Equipment and Compaq ...loved your latest editorial. Completely on the money - literally and figuratively. It will come as no surprise that to call Sun's Board Independent is quite an overstatement.  In fact I was surprised at how closed and inter-related the Board is. When stock almost hit $6, I thought Sun might be back on track...now I am looking cause I can't continue like this... I completely disagree with your attacks on Scott McNealy...he should sue your ass and make you shut down your f***ing piece of  sh*t ...a buddy pointed me here...well worth the 2 Heinekens I bought... ...didn't know new COO was software guy...seems well qualified to be in charge of java and other coffees in the cafeteria when Microsoft buys the company ...let us employees know if any class action suits come out of this... Did you say shill?  Describe that guy.  I may have played poker with him last week in Vegas. ...fabulous letter to Turner... ...tell Lynn Turner it's tough choking on your own words... ...read Turner's speech three times...You should have mentioned and asked questions about the Abe Lincoln story... ...always thought Turner was somewhat independent...can't understand how he can continue supporting him... ...he can't do by himself...i think a man of high standards should resign if he strongly disagrees with the other members ...keep in mind turner made that speech while at the sec... Terrific web site... it's the finest analysis about the company one could possibly find under the sun... ...company is reducing force and costs, and a lot of commitment too... ...everything is about saving money...the more that you make the more likely to get the knife no matter how good a job you are doing ...story shows that McNasty doesn't care about employees... Thanks for sharing the enlightening toxic mold story...been getting bad vibes about unavoidable absence work due to illness...going to talk to a lawyer next week... ...can't believe Sun would treat an employee that way...Somebody should be fired!!! ...Loved the bit about the ceo selling tech to china... how stupid... ...not surprised Sun is at the bottom...not dumb just stubborn... ...announcements this week sound great... ...did not know McNealy admitted making a mistake...can tick off many others... ...new to your website...love the eye-opening questions...will buy sun stock when scottie is gone and the new guy starts turning the company around ...editorials are just piling on... ...why is sun ranked last with $5 billion in cash...doesn't make sense ...throw wang and data general in the mix... ...sun will never achieve what digital did...dec influence is still around...when sun sets it will only be a footnote... ...had heard the SUN-DEC comparison before, but never so convincingly... ...mcnealy selling while telling everybody that Sun had turned the corner... ...there have been some minor changes, but Sun is operating with a business model that worked five years ago... ...Sun is in the basement where there are no "windows"... ...One of the best parts of your overall thesis was the question whether entrepreneurs make good leaders...that's an excellent interrogative, and it is important to make such a distinction regarding the strengths/weaknesses of each... ...Sun will never be able to repair itself or compete until McNealy is gone. At this point, that might not be enough. ...things  have gone from bad to worse...no new projects in R & D... ...low numbers are good in golf, not with the stock price... ...Sun needs to change their marketing and advertising. It sucks... ...The points you make are valid and disputable at the same time...I do not view Scott Mcnealy as somebody that would intentionally do any of these things. Scott I believe is a good person at heart...I am absolutely overwhelmed by the amount of information on your website. ...it's time for a class action law suit ... there has been gross mismanagement, fraud, and misrepresentation by Sun's top leaders... now they are giving away hardware in a program that hasn't been analyzed for profitability... ...less than candid - what do investors and voters expect... ...thanks for keeping the employees informed...I will check on my employee rights and might have you write my story if you want to... ...you are definitely right that this layoff will hurt customers...who can do their job under these circumstances... ...good job exposing McNealy and his gang for what they are...some of the stuff came as a surprise ...I think I am being lied to. ...u are hurting the stock and not helping...i wish i could get my hands on you and kick yor ass... ...wonder what happened to all that money Sun got from Microsoft?...
