TODAY'S NEWSLETTER LOOKS AT LEADING PLAYERS IN THE RED-HOT SERVER
APPLIANCE MARKET
Sun Microsystems (SUNW) thinks so highly of the server appliance
market that it plans to spend about $2 billion to buy Cobalt
Networks (COBT). Sales of scaled-down servers, which help manage
how desktop machines communicate and work together, are expected
to reach more than $12 billion by 2004. That's up from around $1
billion this year, according to IDC. The market continues to
attract some major players hoping to target small business and Web
site hosting firms looking to buy server appliances to help manage
networks. In today's newsletter, we look at the companies leading
the migration toward server appliances.

Leaving on a Jet Plane (Maybe)
Did you know that if you are involuntarily bumped from a flight
and the airline arranges substitute transportation scheduled to
arrive at your destination between one and two hours after your
original arrival time (between one and four hours on international
flights), the airline must pay you an amount equal to your one-way
fare, with a $200 maximum? Find more tips and "Strategies for
Traveling Stress-Free" at Hoover's Business Travel.
