The times they are a changing...

Oracle to Buy Sun Microsystems for $9.50/share!!

It's been all over the business news! It's all the talk in the office. We've had numerous "all-hands" calls, with another tomorrow. Big changes are coming! -- I've been at Sun for 20 years, grew up in this company and have loved almost every minute. It's created a great career. Allowed me to travel all over the globe. Met my wife here and numerous other friends. Most of my social network is Sun related. -- Maybe I should diversify -- but why? it's served me well for 20 years, but it'll soon be over. I don't know what the future holds, nobody does, but there has never been a better company for me. 

I was very worried during the IBM rumors and a little less so with Oracle. With IBM I would guarantee I would not have a role. With Oracle I think the odds are 40/60...there's a chance, but I think it's slim. -- only time will tell!!

If things don't work out...It'll be time for "Dave2.0  the next chapter" -- That could be fun too! Maybe everybody needs to re-start at 50!!
