Statistics about Sun and its market and news from the Sun 'planets'. The editor of "HOT OFF THE PRESS" (HOTP) has asked for your comments. What do you like/dislike about HOTP ? Would you rather have a well-formatted, graphic 'newsletter' version (in PostScript) or this plain ASCII ? Both ? Do you forward HOTP (or parts of it) to colleagues ? Are you sometimes surprised by the facts presented (e.g. competitive market share data) ? Do you think it appropriate to post HOTP to SunFlash or should it have its own mailing list ? Please send your comments to me (flash@sun.com) and I will forward them to the HOTP editor.
