Acer's ambitions shouldn't end at Gateway

That's JAVA, in really big, capital letters

There's subliminal advertising, and then there's what Sun has decided to do: replace the traditional SUNW with which it is traded on stock exchanges like NASDAQ with the more simple, direct JAVA. As crass as it might sound, it's better than trying to...
