The server will hold up to a dozen UltraSPARC III processors running at 900MHz and pack support for Sun's most complex partitioning and system reconfiguration tools. Sun is putting high-end technology into less expensive systems in order to keep up with IBM, according to one analyst. Sun's still mum on the v1280's release date. STAROFFICE SMELLS FREE IN DENMARK | vnunet Something smells free in Denmark. It's StarOffice. Sun has announced that it will donate StarOffice 6.0 to more than one million Danish students and teachers. Sun claims that there are no strings to the deal, which is worth more than $27 million. MYSUN TO SET IN SPRING -- FOR GOOD | The Register MySun will not come up March 25. Sun plans to unplug the free e-mail service March 24. Sun claims it cannot support free e-mail service, and considering the company has been laying off thousands of employees, the decision is probably understandable. SUN V. MICROSOFT SETS LEGAL PRECEDENT | The Associated Press So what happens if Microsoft does in fact lose its appeal and must put Sun Java in Windows? Life won't change much -- the greatest impact of the decision could be the precedent-setting nature of the case. A judge -- not engineers, software companies or users -- determined what is installed on personal computers, and that "first" may ultimately change the industry. MORE MICROSOFT FOES LINE UP TO APPEAL SETTLEMENT | CNET Even more people find the Microsoft settlement unsettling. Two groups, the Consumers for Computing Choice and the Open Platform Working Group, have asked to intervene in the antitrust case. They're appealing for meatier sanctions.

Jobs' autograph up for bid Whose autograph is more valuable, the "father of our country" or the co-father of our Apples? Seems like a no-brainer, but evidently more of us need to get our brains checked. The signature of Steve Jobs has been up for sale on e-Bay and is fetching bids of more than $800. By comparison, George Washington's John Hancock usually goes for $500 to $1,000. Of course, the premier president didn't ink his name on the premier issue of Macworld magazine. Jobs did, and that fact has probably pushed up the bidding for his handiwork. Autograph hounds on a budget might want to check out Bill Gates. A signed copy of his book "The Road Ahead" is going for about $25.
