I own TOI and it was interesting because Bruce was post-Apple and could tell some tales about certain things. And he was flush with Sun Microsystems cash to try some new stuff. My copy of the book came with a VHS copy of the Starfire concept video. Some interesting predictions that finally came true, 20-30 years later. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9OKcKisUrY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9OKcKisUrY

Meta MPK still has bits of Sun Microsystems logos here and there: back of the main entrance sign and some of the (repurposed) interior office window glazing. </old-man-story>I used to care and feed a SPARCstation 2 and 4 at a nuclear engineering consultancy in the 90's. They had 128k ISDN internet access and one had expansion with commodity PC SCSI HDDs metadisked (risky like RAID0) with the existing drives.</old-man-story>
