Name
In Stanford circles, think I have mostly seen the computer referred to as the "SUN workstation". I suppose strictly speaking just "SUN" would be the network.
Of course, the fact that Sun Microsystems grabbed the same name makes for confusion. Case in point, Stanford's "SUN display" talks about the SUN project, but displays a Sun-1 as far as I can see. Larsbrinkhoff (talk) 14:16, 29 January 2023 (CET)
