You might start by reading the sun-spots digest - you'll see enough bug
reports to make your eyes bug out. Just as the most trivial of problems,
you might wonder at the coined phrase (sorry, I forget who I'm stealing
this from) "the connector is the network."

Lots and lots of problems, no single one of which renders a Sun totally
unusable, but altogether adding up to too many headaches. Bad network
support, flaky network services, etc. etc. etc... For a company whose
motto is "the network is the computer" it's pretty disgusting how
poorly their network software runs.

anything about anyone else anywhere else in the world, as far as I
know, employers included...]
