Sun- A Technological moment
Before this BLOG ends, I thought I would mention to all my friends at Sun Microsystems that our web site and this BLOG run on the Sun Solaris operating system on a PC. The mail software is Surgemail.
Everything went fine from April until September 12th when the server failed. A week later, Bernadette our daughter, who has been house-sitting, switched over to our backup server. This is a complete Sun system made up of of a Sun Ultra-5 that I bought on eBay for A$100! It runs SPARC Solaris 10 and has been running non-stop from April (when we left) until now. Being old, it is a bit slow, but at least it works
Per my usual experience in the past, Sun systems (even old ones) are much more reliable than PCs. The UNIX Sun Solaris operating system far outstrips Windows from Microsoft. After that free plug for my former employer, back to sailing....
