I am using my personal email, but the SUn OpenID provider - as far as geekiness goes, this should count for some extra points ;-) Gerry James -

Clearly not true. - Rich James, IBM is a *much* bigger company than Sun (355,760 vs 34,200 according to Google Finance) - it would only be reasonable to take that into account.
