leadedsolderThe <a class="hashtag" href="https://snack.social/tag/sparcstation" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sparcstation</a> lives! It's been nearly a decade. Not sure why I can't get a console in my regular user account, but that's the least of my worries. Is there a way to use Sun OpenLook without a mouse? <a class="hashtag" href="https://snack.social/tag/sun4m" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sun4m</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://snack.social/tag/retrocomputing" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retrocomputing</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://snack.social/tag/retrounix" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retrounix</a>

Mark J Koch ✅<p>Ran across this going through my old stuff. The pre-pre-pre-release docs for the SPARCstation-2 (Calvin). Was given to us lowly techs who were destined to debug them coming off the manufacturing line. When I started at Sun, I was a lowly failure analysis technician, the good jobs went to Stanford grads, DeVRY grads needed to come in through the back door. Eventually made my way into engineering and then SunLabs (where the real party was).<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/suntember" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>suntember</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sparcstation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sparcstation</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sparcstation2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sparcstation2</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sunw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sunw</span></a></p>
