[Sunhelp] Comparisons

[tom]

Hi Jeff,

Don't know how much use this may be, but our shop is a Notes/Domino 
development place, and I've found this *very* useful in crushing and foolish 
Wintel ideas people may have :-)

Combine it with some white papers and case studies from Sun to show just how 
much better the UltraSparc architecture is, and you should have a winner :-)

Cheers,
TOM
