Hello,
    I was browsing over the Sun Hardware Reference
(http://www.sunhelp.org/faq/sunref1.html), and I found this statement,
    "
    100
        Processor(s):   68000 @ 10MHz
        Bus:            Multibus, serial
        Notes:          Uses a design similar to original SUN (Stanford
                        University Network) CPU. The version 1.5 CPU can
                        take larger RAMs.
    "
    Anyhow, I am curious, did Sun's name originate from Stanford?  Anyone
know the history of Sun in the early '80s?  Anyone have images of a Sun-1
machine?
    Zach
