Sun *will* be fine... Besides their servers and Solaris and all those rock solid things, they are the Javameisters after all -- and what with the growing pervasiveness of Java, their sway will only increase... Also, I think they still have some exciting technologies on deck like Jini, for example, and probably something up their sleeves...
And anyway, Sun has piles of cash still (5.7 billion according to McNealy in this interview ), despite its low stock price. Much the same as Apple did when the world and his dog were jumping on the "Apple is Dead!" bandwagon... They can turn things around, and I really think they will.
Well, no, but there are 'pdf2html' converters readily available, just google for that and see. In fact, google itself uses something of that type to scan and display pdf content. And we all agree that html allows for searching of text strings... right?
