@VD15 I'm still mad that #FTC & @EUCommission allowed #Oracle to buy #SunMicrosystems!

If you are in Germany, have a lot space and are a avid fan of #SunMicrosystems ohh boi is there a thing for you:

Since I clearly don't have the space, I would already be happy with a Ultra 45, without a insane scalper price...

An interview with James Gosling on the 30th anniversary of Java. It's a good profile of the man and his work as I knew little about him.

At Sun, Gosling found a rare environment where technical excellence could thrive alongside playful creativity — an atmosphere that clearly shaped his approach to technology and problem-solving throughout his career.

Switzerland is hosting Eurovision this year. How did the country that produced one of the most iconic fonts of all time, that’s even named after their country, decide to use Garamond?!
Helvetica would have been perfection.

(I do appreciate that Garamond italic insofar as it reminds me of the Sun Microsystems wordmark)

@robinhouston I really don't understand this fad for cut down keyboards. Mind you, I've gone the other way with an unreasonably big keyboard.

#SunMicrosystems #Sun #SunType7

Photograph of a Sun type 7 keyboard, in the US UNIX layout. It has a real Compose key which lets me type things like 🤷 and ℵ₀ (those are Compose-s-h-r-u-g and Compose-a-l-e-p-h Compose-0-v in my custom mapping), and eleven extra keys on the left labelled Help, Stop, Again, Props, Undo, Front, Copy, Open, Paste, Find, and Cut. I don't use those. The keyboard feels lovely to type on.

@aka_pugs

Wow, a rich & insightful story, beautifully told.

A period of incredible creativity and enterprise.

"We each followed the other around for a while, thinking they had been there already." Ha, yes, I had a similar experience once, in my field. Thus seniority comes about.

Also, I love the way you use photographs / illustrations as section headings in your blog, brilliant!

@aka_pugs Happy anniversary!

The Sun stack is now fully working with KVM for the keyboard and mouse. The Mac stack has hit a snag because the custom cable that NTI used to connect 8 pin minidin to ADB is unobtainable. I had to order parts to build my own.

NTI made some pretty cool KVMs in the pre-USB days. They actually work with Sun, Mac, or PS/2.

a picture of retro computers sitting on a builtin desk. the right most stack has a Sun Ultra 1 sitting on a Sun Ultra 5 with a Sun CRT on top. the KVM, keyboard, and mouse are on top of the monitor. the middle stack has two Mac LC III's sitting on top of each other with an apple 13 in monitor on top. the keyboard for the Macs is sitting in front of the stacked Macs. on the far left is an Apple IIe with a Duo disk and a flat panel monitor on top.

👴🌞 Ah, the good old days when Sun Microsystems was a "tiny startup" and not just a nostalgic anecdote for boomers to reminisce about at dinner parties. Apparently, porting UNIX to mainframes was the pinnacle of excitement—40 years later, and it's still being dragged out like it was Woodstock. 🎸📜

got a sparcstation but no keyboard or mouse? tired of having to reprogram your idprom over and over?

usb3sun lets you connect usb keyboards and mice to your sun workstation, and it can reprogram your idprom with just a few keystrokes ☀️

Oh look, a random relic from aeons ago: Original #SunMicrosystems sign from the 1980s featuring the 1984 logo.

It was outdoors for soooo long that the labeling faded away nearly completely so I had to re-apply it and accidentally upgraded to the 1996 logo. Oops...

Did I mention that I collect weird random old stuff?

#retrocomputing

Faded old sign. Text is only readable by observing surface finish
