I think you are mistaken repo and coulda, Ive been in this for a short while and the company is working well and actually growing. This is a shortfall and will recover quickly, just as EDO also took a hit. It will take some time but once everyone see's the real improvements they have been making SUNW may actually start to go above the $5 mark that it's been hovering around.

Sun Microsystems Announces Open Source of Online Game Technology Project Darkstar at GDC '07 Monday March 5, 11:13 am ET Sun Microsystems Also Launches Program to Support Development of Online Video Games; Game Developer NCsoft Voices Support of Project Darkstar Platform
SAN FRANCISCO, March 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sun Microsystems, Inc. (Nasdaq: SUNW - News) announced plans today at the 2007 Game Developers Conference in San Francisco to open source Project Darkstar, a ground-breaking online game server platform written entirely in Java(TM) technology, at the 2007 Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. The company also announced the opening of registration for the Darkstar Playground, which will enable developers to create a wide variety of games that can be provisioned through a single server platform. Information on these and demonstrations of games running on the Darkstar platform will be on display at Sun's booth #738 in Moscone Center. ADVERTISEMENT
"Project Darkstar is proving to be an important technology foundation in the exploding multiplayer online game marketplace," said Chris Melissinos, chief gaming officer, Sun Microsystems. "By open sourcing Darkstar technology, we will help enable the widest possible market for online game developers and remove their burden of having to build enterprise-grade server solutions, leaving them to do what they do best-build great game experiences."
Game developers can download the latest version of Project Darkstar at www.projectdarkstar.com. This new release of Project Darkstar features a simpler programming interface for increased productivity; plug-in APIs to facilitate integration of third party extensions; and enhancements for scalability, robust performance, and fault-tolerant operation. The source code for Project Darkstar will become available under a GPL license in the coming months, and further details will be provided at Sun's JavaOne conference May 9 in San Francisco.
Leading MMORGP Developer NCsoft Validates Sun Technology
Validating the strength of the Project Darkstar technology, NCsoft, the leader in the worldwide Massive Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game Platform (MMORGP) market, is currently prototyping new games on the Darkstar platform. "Project Darkstar was instrumental in helping us initiate prototyping of a new online game project internally at NCsoft," said Chris Mayer, vice president of product development for NCsoft North America. "The Darkstar technology team proved very supportive and we were up and running quickly. We very much appreciate Sun's initial efforts in developing the kind of server technologies needed to jump-start online projects."
Sun's Darkstar Playground
In conjunction with the latest release of Project Darkstar, Sun also initiated the Darkstar Playground which will allow approved developers to gain access to server resources-provided and operated by Sun-to start developing their online games.

Kohlberg To Purchase Dollar General Andrew Farrell, 03.12.07, 9:40 AM ET
Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, fresh off the largest private equity buyout in history, is also acquiring Dollar General in a move that sent the ultra-discount retailer's stock soaring Monday.
Dollar General (nyse: DG - news - people ) shares were trading up $4.72, or 28.1%, at $21.50 in pre-market trading after the discount store chain said it agreed to be acquired by affiliates of Kohlberg for approximately $7.3 billion, including approximately $380 million of debt.
Under the deal, shareholders will receive $22 in cash for each share of common stock, a 31.1% premium on Friday's price, when shares closed at $16.78.
Kohlberg Kravis Roberts has been busy lately. In January Sun Microsystems (nasdaq: SUNW - news - people ) announced it had received an investment of $700 million from the firm. (See: "Here Comes The Sun".) And in February, Kohlberg joined a group of other private equity firms to announce a $32 billion private buyout--the largest ever--of the utility company TXU (nyse: TXU - news - people ). (See: "The Biggest Buyout Ever".)
Dollar General said it expects the deal to close in the third quarter, pending shareholder and regulatory approval. The Dollar General board unanimously approved the deal and is recommending shareholders vote for it. The announcement of the buyout of Dollar General also lifted shares of similar chains. In pre-market trading, Family Dollar Stores (nyse: FDO - news - people ) gained 17 cents, or 0.6%, to $28.95, Fred's (nasdaq: FRED - news - people )jumped 41 cents, or 2.8%, to $14.90 and 99 Cents Only Stores (nyse: NDN - news - people ) was up 29 cents, or 2.0%, to $14.70.
