I regret not holding on to my Sun Microsystems merch with both hands.
- zeruch 4y agoI still have some of mine (e.g. an original Java varsity jacket). All in storage somewhere. I loved working there in the 90s
- RyJones 4y agoNice. I got a nice jacket for shipping SSDM for NSPG, but I lost it at some point
- CalChris 4y agoI had one of DEC’s t-shirts, The Network is the Network and the Computer is the Computer. We regret the confusion. But no one got the joke anymore and I let it slip away.
- invalidator 4y agoI worked at Sun around that time. Our version: "The network is the computer, and Cisco is the network... therefore Cisco is the computer."
- quesera 4y agoI still have a stack of mousepads from Sun from when I purchased servers by the truckload (and after they gave up on optical mouses). Fortunately, I still use a mouse at my desk. I hope to work through my collection in this lifetime. Unfortunately, the art on them is of inconsistent appeal: - "The Network is the Computer": corporate-lame art - "The Dot in Dot-Com": OK art, slogan still funny - "Ultracomputing": Decent art, least-fun slogan
- solarkraft 4y agoThese slogans, especially the last, sound fit for ironic use, "hack the planet" style.
- quesera 4y agoPretty much all of them were considered pretty ironic when they were new. ...at least by everyone I knew who was a customer or an employee of Sun. I can't speak for Sun's marketing department!
- elephant81 4y agoThe sun logo was one of the all time best
- nborwankar 4y agoI have a first edition Enterprise Java Beans T-shirt and a Mozilla Developer Conference circa 1997 And a Microsoft Test one that won me an “oldest T-shirt contest.
- beej71 4y agoI still have a Sun "We Put The Dot in Dot Com" t-shirt in my closet. :)
- guyzero 4y agoI think I still have a plush Duke I bought at JavaOne one year.
