The slogan, I just looked it up, is as old as 1984. It seems prophetic by today, which I find irritating and interesting. By 1984, the world just started to move into personal computing, away from the terminal approach. Today’s hardware is magnitudes more advanced, although the shift away from personal computing to a terminal approach has probably not reached its peak.
And then there is Sun’s logo. This should be included in every top ten list of the best logos in history.
And now I think about my engineering school times, when I worked on SunOS and Solaris, on Sun Sparc stations, using gcc and the initial versions of Java…
Also when I found a bug in the Java compiler, when a constructor in a child class did not call super()… I felt incredibly proud to fill in that bug in the « Java Bug Parade »… Would need to check whether this db still lives somewhere !
