a sign of things to come

I love Sun Microsystems always have done, they gave us java which has allowed me to accomplish so much with computers. I used to feel all warm inside when I drove past the Sun building on the M3 near Fleet, and I even loved their little Sun Spots as a bit of academic fun. However now good ol' Larry has his mits on it I just don't feel the same about it. Even the oracle icon leaves me feeling ... well nothing really it evokes no emotional response what-so-ever. Now I have tried to register a copy of Glassfish v3 and got this, simply by requesting my id. This shouldn't happen, have the people at Sun lost their pride, or have the lovely people from Oracle already taken their soles to dark place? Who knows, who really cares other than geeks like me.
