Not bad, Bryan. And some interesting history, too. Don't get me wrong, Sun was a great company, but like all companies, it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. Yo

Not bad, Bryan. And some interesting history, too.
Don't get me wrong, Sun was a great company, but like all companies, it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. You've said as much yourself before.
I wished to point out that there was a time that Sun wasn't as beloved, and to indicate some of the reasons that we don't talk about some of Sun's less savory actions so much on HN.
If, as an ex-Sun employee, you find this insulting (and the trace elements of sarcasm indicate that this may be so), than I will inform you that it certainly wasn't meant to be so, although I now see why it may come off that way.
Thank you for responding to my ticket, and have a great day!
- rbanffy 10y agoScott McNeally was great fun. Jonathan Schwartz not that much. The confusion about wether it was a hardware company or a software one drove it into the ground. Worse... Right into Oracle.
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoThat's all certainly true. I never said that Sun died for its sins or anything. That's not what I meant at all... Sun was a pretty good company.
- bcantrill 10y agoNo worries -- I didn't find it insulting at all. Marking this ticket resolved! ;)
