My last Sun box was a Sparc 20 IIRC, and I had that until 2007ish or thereabouts, before I gave it up. Sun is still one of the best companies I ever worked at, and I was there when the E10K and Java was released, really exciting times without a hint of the circus/surreality show the industry has become.
- otachack 4y agoI'm envious! I was in college when the acquisition happened. I wonder how different the world of computing would be if that buyout didn't occur.
- zeruch 4y agoNot sure if the computing world would be that different, but maybe Oracle would have taken a humbling tumble (I loathed them years before they even attempted the buyout, as their corporate culture is too much like Lord of the Flies except "anyone not named Larry Ellison is Piggy" and I've rebuffed every attempt to be recruited by, purchase new or renew existing Oracle contracts. Rip and replace any chance I've had.
