Special thanks to Rajesh, Ganesh, Gary, David, Alta, Chhandomay, Vijaya

gave me. I would also like to thank all the CAs , tech leads, Sun
employees, other community members for their successful role in the CA
program. Wish everyone a great career and a wonderful future. Thanks
for everything. The last 21 months of internship at Sun was the best time I had in my entire life. I am grateful to Sun Microsystems for providing me such a great experience that any student would love to have. Long live Sun.
