In the news release, "MEDIA ALERT: Sun Microsystems and Fujitsu Unveil

Scalability, Consolidation and Virtualization for Enterprise and HPC
Applications" and "In Sunnyvale, Sun Microsystems (NASDAQ: JAVA) and
Fujitsu Limited (TSE: 6702) today announced an enhanced line of Fujitsu and

as originally issued. In addition, the last sentence of the second
