Comment on Ask HN: Was Sun Microsystems the last respectable tech company?parent

Comments

I was so happy opening a Sun box and wondering what tools I'd need to do whatever job I was doing, and discovered a Sun-branded screwdriver mounted inside the case.

It made it clear that someone had really cared about the user it when it was designed.

I worked at Aim Tech (of Aim benchmark fame) on a performance management tool Sun contracted with us to build for its servers that had a physical view - photorealistic images of the rack and each board with component level highlighting of status/failures. Way over the top compared to any other system I ever worked on.
