      Yeah, me too.

      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 the slogan is now being used by Cloudflare, who acquired the rights to the expired trasdemark in 2019.

    It leaves out Framemaker, which was... a thing.

      FrameMaker never went away. It was just subsumed by a sea of Microsoft Word being used inappropriately. Where I work I think we last updated during the pandemic.
