For those of you in the Silicon Valley area, the sunken Sun (as well as
desk, chair, phone, etc) of one of Sun's VPs was shown on the April 4th
Silicon Valley Report.   SVR is on San Jose's public TV station, KTEH,
Channel 54.  It was pretty funny - they sunk the whole office of the poor
guy into this large aquarium.  Apparently the guy is a diver, since he
donned a full wetsuit and tank, and went in amongst the sharks and sat at
the desk.

His wife made the comment that he always said working in Silicon Valley
makes you feel like you're working with sharks (or something like that).
