		<description>In general my lips are sealed.  But as someone who went through a similar acquisition 15 years ago, when IBM bought Lotus Development Corporation, I&#039;d give this word of advice to my colleagues at Sun:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some day, when you least expect it, a maintenance crew is going to go through your buildings and tear down all the Sun logos and emblems and replace them with those of another company.  Watch for that day and grab what you can from the trash bins.  These relics will become prized possessions to you in years to come and, hidden in dark corners of labs, where executives never visit, will be objects of veneration among old timers who still remember what once was.</description>
