Green: Yes, about five months.

IW: Did your return have anything to do with Jonathan Schwarz taking over as the CEO?

Green: Well, the events weren't timed. Certainly, having Jonathan move to the CEO post, I think, has been a healthy thing for Sun. But they were separate events.

IW: What's been the difference with him as CEO as opposed to Scott McNealy as CEO?

Green: Well, I just think after 20-plus years, we have a new fresh set of eyes working on it. And actually the good news is we now have [two] sets of eyes looking at it, with Scott as Chairman and Jonathan as CEO, it's a pretty powerful group of folks looking out for the company and driving our success. So it seems like a win-win task for both [of the guys]. In addition to the change at the CEO level and my return, there's been folks like Andy Bechtolsheim returning about two years ago, which has had a huge impact on our systems business. And we had Mike Lehman return two or three months before I returned. Mike Lehman is CFO.
