I can't take credit for remembering, however today is kind of Solaris 2.0's sixteenth birthday, well at least its the 17th anniversary of Sun announcing 'the first shrink-wrapped distributed computing solution' aka Solaris. Actually I think Solaris 2.0 (along the same lines as the Star Wars films, 2.0 was first, and 1.0 was a follow-up!) was released until June 1992, but any excuse to celebrate!

I just hope you don't end up with Neil Sedaka's 1961 hit, Sweet Sixteen stuck in your head for the rest of the day, as I did last week when I heard the news. For that I can only blame former Radio One DJ Ed 'Stewpot' Stewart.

Roll on next year and I'll start quoting Beatles lyrics...
