If three years ago a company had $7.4B of cash on hand, but now its entire market cap has

>"The pre-trial hearings form the second strand. They "establish the meaning of key terms in disputed patents", Sun's general counsel, Mike Dillon, says.

But I do love seeing someone hand a smackin' out to NetApp and take 'em down a notch. Does my heart good. Hopefully the chance of seeing "vital" patents invalidated during a lawsuit will tend to put a brake on this sort of thing.

No apologies needed, you gave me a right good laugh on an otherwise grey morning. Get well soon!
