"what do you mean sparc i going nowhere?! Have you used a T1? They are incredibly powerful! Or do you mean sparc is going nowhere in the direction you happen to use it (desktop x86 based systems?) "

I think he means that SPARC is not being phased out, that it is going to still be around, and that you can still purchase it from Sun.
