Sounds like something Jonathan Schwartz (the ponytailed COO @ Sun at the time, I believe) could have said, did you mean him?
His blog was strangely addictive at the time. Great writer.
- ghaff 2y agoNo, I'm sure it was Greg though I don't think you can get to the Sun blogs any longer. But that's not to say that Jonathan didn't reuse the line himself. (I was an IT industry analyst at the time--and am again.) Ah, but here's a reference to it: https://www.cnet.com/tech/tech-industry/the-world-needs-only-five-computers/ https://www.cnet.com/tech/tech-industry/the-world-needs-only... I'm guessing it was when Sun started talking up Sun Grid though that part I'm not sure of but the timeframe of Stephen's article pretty much matches.
- lysace 2y agoAh! Oh, Stephen Shankland. He did a number of high quality reviews of this software product I was the tech lead on; about 10-15 years ago. High quality software reviews were rare already back then.
- ghaff 2y agoI know Stephen very well. He's a good guy. He's leading content for Commonwealth Fusion Systems these days.
- dredmorbius 2y agoThere's a name I've not heard for a while. Apparently left CNET last year: <https://talkingbiznews.com/media-news/shankland-departs-cnet-after-25-years/ https://talkingbiznews.com/media-news/shankland-departs-cnet...>
