[geeks] wooo! EMAIL FROM DA MAN!

[Bill Bradford]

I got tired of waiting 2 years for a response from Sun about permission
to digitize the SS10 product release video tape I have, and put it online.

So, I emailed Scott McNealy tonight, a couple of hours ago.  Took a wild
guess that scott.mcnealy at sun.com might work, and fired off a one-page email
telling him that I liked his anti-MS stance, to keep up the good work, and
asked him about the possibility of getting permission to put the tape
online.

I just got this a few minutes ago:

Johnny,

Can you help Bill out.  I dont know why he cant use the tape now.
Maybe some of the memorabilia would be fun for the 20 year event.

Bill,

Thanks for the nice note and support.

Scott

THAT KICKS SO MUCH ASS.  How many other CEOs would take the time to
respond to some guy who runs a web page?  I guess it IS true that he
reads all of his mail. 8-)

Man, I am *SO* pumped.  I know its not really significant, but man,
this is just so cool. HE REPLIED. 8-)

Bill
