Sun and U2
fred
I have worked in Sun for a long time
now ( 12+ years ) and taught
I had seen it all ! But never did I expect to see a PRESS RELEASE
with
Sun Microsystems and Bono (
yes of U2 fame ) working together !
I was lucky enough to get a ticket to see the Vertigo Tour
home coming opening night in Dublin's Croke Park. They sold out 3
nights
and could sell 10 more if the venue was available.
The concert was AWESOME. great music a super show and
the band clearly enjoyed playing to the home crowd. The high tech
light show was incredible.
At the end of the concert Bono asked the crowd to text the
word 'AFRICA' to 53131.
and that is where Sun come in. We provided the back end infra structure
( and I guess java for all those phones too )

Maybe marketing could get a Sun Logo somewhere in the venues for the rest
of the shows.
I had to update this as it now appears that Marketing we're listening :)
checkout www.sun.ie and we see Bono in all his glory.
Croke Park is an 80,000 seater stadium close to Sun's office and
home
of Gaelic Football and Hurling, check these out if you get the chance
if you visit Ireland they are uniquely Irish and great to watch.
