Unix created Sun.  Sun didn't create Unix.


I remember one day when our department chair (community college CS) came 
running into the lab, very excited. "We're getting Suns!  We're getting 
Suns!"
She had just been told that there were some boxes at the loading dock for 
us, labelled "Multi-media Work-Station".
Those turned out to be computer desks.
Since she had come from UCBerk, what else could a "Multi-Media 
Work-Station" possibly be, other than a Sun computer?   :-)
