What do you mean Sun was the first? The US Army used 360/30 and 360/40s in 18-wheel trailers back in the early 1960s - 40 years before Sun "thought" of the idea. The Army even had those in Vietnam for the division data centers. Lloyd <snip> Yeah, and they had 600' of channel cables attached to a jeep to use as a mouse. Sorry, I just couldn't get this cartoon out of my mind of the original mouse...
