Scott McNealy is the chairman of Sun Microsystems, which has usually
|
|
been considered, at least by the UNIX hackers, to be the leader in
|
|
UNIX workstations for at least the last five years, perhaps ten.

Keith is a fan of his ability to not hold back from saying what he
|
|
thinks of his competitors.

Is anyone compiling a list of famous Scott McNealy quotes?

>From the December 1992 issue of UnixWorld:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
BUDDIES? NOT!
|

|
|
For this month's cover, we had hoped to feature a photograph of
|
|
Next Chairman Steve Jobs and Sun Microsystems Inc. Chairman
|
|
Scott McNealy, with their arms draped around each others'
|
|
shoulders. The point? To symbolize that 1992 was a year in
|
|
which at least some of the UNIX hostilities were patched up.
|
|
(McNealy once said at a press conference: "I'd rather have
|
|
needles stuck in my eyes than to have Nextstep run on Sun
|
|
workstations.") Sadly, the UNIX industry hasn't yet reached
|
|
love-fest status. While Jobs eagerly agreed to appear in the
|
|
photograph, McNealy turned us down, saying through a Sun
|
|
spokesperson: "I'd be happy to pose with my arm around [NCR
|
|
CEO] Gil Williamson or [Hewlett-Packard CEO] Lew Platt or
|
|
someone who has a real company that ships real UNIX."

The SURFPUNK Technical Journal is a dangerous multinational hacker zine
|
|
originating near BARRNET in the fashionable western arm of the northern
|
|
California matrix. Quantum Californians appear in one of two states,
|
|
spin surf or spin punk. Undetected, we are both, or might be neither.
