The alliance, to include companies from the U.S. and Europe, will also address security and privacy issues in electronic data transmission. (Wall Street Journal 7/8/94 B3) SUN GOES ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB ============================== The Summer 1994 issue of SunSoft Developer Newsletter features an article titled "Sun Plugs into Information Superhighway through World-Wide Web and Mosaic." It shows how this prominent, world-class computer company has looked to the WWW as a way of reaching mass audiences with its corporate information. "Have you ever needed information about Sun products, but not had the right white paper or product spec available? Or have a customer call for information about a Sun product that they need immediately -- and Federal Express isn't fast enough? Or wanted to see the latest Solaris press release? Well, you can now, from anywhere in the world, across the Internet, using user-friendly hypertext-linked documents." This article discusses the history of the Internet, the meaning of the WWW for Sun, WWW terminology, and the use of the WWW as a client-server based communication system.
