Fools Still Run Rampant
On April 1 At Sun Micro
Sunstruck, the pranks unit of Sun Microsystems Inc., struck again on April Fool's Day.
Chief Executive Scott McNealy and No. 2 man Ed Zander had to prove themselves in what a Sun spokesman on Friday called "a true test of executive-rank driving abilities and tolerance to public humiliation."
In other words, the execs were forced to race California "clean air-modifiedFormula One race cars" -- that is, golf carts.
McNealy won in spite of his "official" handicap -- his lack of direction along with his inability to simply ask for directions.
The race included two pit stops. First, drivers had to exit their carts, grab a CPU/memory board and insert it into the Sun FireTM 3800 server. At the second stop, they had to "slam-dunk" as many software CDs into a basketball hoop as possible within 30 seconds.
