@aka_pugs never worked for them but #SUNW was a relatively good corporate egg with interesting products. As was #SGI. They perish, but we get to keep #ORCL and #HPE. #enshitification

@aka_pugs Happy anniversary!

I came along just a "few" years later. #SUNW #SunMicrosystems

I love that the FCC's website to get an FRN, etc has a favicon of my old employer.

This also makes me wish I had been able to fit the little rolling rack from the Sun office that did nothing but education when they closed it. Coincidentally, that office was right beside the Oracle office at the time. #SUNW #SunMicrosystems #Netra

I might just boot up this sucker, too. Just because. For some reason it's missing its faceplate. I think it's just in another box.

If this image means something to you ... I have both volumes, current to 2001, as well as the supplement published in 1999.

Interested? Let me know. Shipping cost will be the cost.

Ran across this going through my old stuff. The pre-pre-pre-release docs for the SPARCstation-2 (Calvin). Was given to us lowly techs who were destined to debug them coming off the manufacturing line. When I started at Sun, I was a lowly failure analysis technician, the good jobs went to Stanford grads, DeVRY grads needed to come in through the back door. Eventually made my way into engineering and then SunLabs (where the real party was).

https://www.tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/unternehmen/facebook-meta-stellenabbau-historische-massenentlassung-aktie-101.html seinerzeit bei #SUNW (#Sun #Microsystems) war ein derartiger Erdrutsch in der Belegschaft der #Abgesang, leider. #facebook/#meta wird, dessen bin ich mir persönlich sicher, dasselbe Schicksal erleiden. Während bei Sun eine coole Firma von der Bildfläche verschwand, ähhh… jo, wegen mir braucht es kein Meta.

A few days ago I posted about Fox, a never released Sun computer. Today, I present UPN, closer to being a product but never made it to market. A refinement to Fox, competed with Mr. Coffee during devleopment. Mr. Coffee was cheaper. UPN was a full featured SPARCstation. #SUNW
