Well, I was Mario's Supervisor on both his B.Sc. and Ph.D. projects, and you
can take it from me that he is one sharp cookie. He produced the first UK
implementation of SmallTalk, and even in today's environment can still run
his original virtual image.

If Sun bought something to add to what Mario's team was working on, I would
assume it had definite and realisable value.

Not that my assumptions have any more credibility than the next old fart's.
