** Sun Peels IBM Off The Street

Never let it be said that Sun Microsystems CEO Scott McNealy 
doesn't know how to clean up, at least in PR skirmishes. Sun 
volunteers have fanned out this week to help rebuild houses, 
combat illiteracy, fight hunger, and clean up the San Francisco 
Bay area's environment. Some volunteers have even been detailed 
to corporate-graffiti removal.

That's because IBM got all loose and crazy last week: It painted 
stenciled Linux ads on city sidewalks in San Francisco, which 
royally ticked off some residents. When IBM didn't clean up after 
itself fast enough, Sun volunteers swooped in to wipe out the 
offending corporate tags. - Diane Rezendes
