Sun for sale?

Remember when Sun Microsystems was going to buy Apple computer? That was before Steve Jobs returned to Apple and discovered the immense power of the lower case i (iMac, iPod, iTunes, iPhoto, iEtc.) . That 1996 deal fell apart, if I remember correctly, because Sun didn't think Apple was worth the price management and shareholders were asking.

How quickly fortunes turn. I.B.M. Said to Be in Talks to Buy Sun for $7 Billion reports the New York Times.
