I know Paul is a Sun Ray advocate, but can we get him to spell it right? It's two words.
Also the misconception that there would be any thing such as a "Sunray development toolset" (sic) furthers my argument that people don't understand Sun Ray. See my "There is no spoon" blog for more information.
Keep up the good work Jim, I really enjoy your blog.

1) ok, I'll try to use two words from now on.
2) Actually a Sun Ray development environment is one that works on Unix with CDE, Gnome, or KDE - and unify does - with no reliance on client side computing of any kind. So yes, there is such a thing, and Accell/SQL with Vision is an example.
3) I had a high school vice principal for discipline whose only response when caught wrong was to huff "just who do you think you are, Mr. Murphy.." very intimidating the first time, but the truth is that I've run exactly as many 12 billion dollar public companies as you have, so go
ahead and be offended, but have someone objective take a look at the idea. It's good for Sun, even if you didn't invent it.

"In software, ideas are expressed in code.
The
implementation
is the
idea. If an idea has not been
implemented, it is premature to call it an 'idea' -- it
is rather a notion, a daydream or perhaps a fancy. If one has such
a thought, the first order of business is not to send out proposals or
give speeches or navigate through process but rather to sit down and
write some code: build a prototype, share it with some like-minded
people, incorporate their feedback, expand the community and iterate.
If one does this and one's ideas are sound,
the process naturally follows; people naturally
gravitate to good ideas."
"Having
your voice listened to is a privilege, not a right, and it's a
privilege that's earned in proportion to the contribution level, not
volume level."
