Nope, you have it wrong. Meta came from the SAIL keyboard at Stanford AI Lab, developed in 1971. This was more than a decade before Sun was founded.

Similarly with Apple's command key. http://www.stanford.edu/~learnest/sailaway.htm http://infolab.stanford.edu/pub/voy/museum/pictures/display/1-6-RAIL-keyb d.jpg -- Barry Margolin, barmar@alum.mit.edu Arlington, MA *** PLEASE post questions in newsgroups, not directly to me *** *** PLEASE don't copy me on replies, I'll read them in the group ***
