Warning:  Plug following.

Sun's latest campaign is "We're the dot in .com" where the word "dot" is
actually a great big dot (I think).  Also we have stickers which say "Guess
who's .com-ming the world?"  Note the spelling of ".com-ming".

This campaign has been around for at least a couple of months.  The VP's in
their latest talks (I have heard a lot of them speak lately) have been talking
about dot-comming companies.
