Search results will not be as extensive as a search of the book's CD-ROM. Sun Microsystems, located in Mountain View, California, was founded in 1982 on the premise that "the network is the computer." By the mid-1990s, the company's revenues were in the $6 billion range and it provided a full range of software and hardware products, including operating systems, high-performance workstations, and network equipment. Sun Microsystem's philosophy is based on open, nonproprietary systems. Its technologies are designed to be freely adopted by any manufacturer. Copyright (c) 2001 Tom Sheldon and Big Sur Multimedia. |
