Back in 1982, when he and three others started Sun Microsystems Inc., Scott McNealy, then 27, borrowed $15,000 in start-up capital from his father. Originally in charge of manufacturing for the budding business, McNealy didn't know a thing about high-tech. Today McNealy is recognized as a visionary in the high-tech industry and Sun Microsystems has earned a reputations as a leading provider of heavy-duty technologically sophisticated computers known as work-stations and servers that use the Unix operating system, generally considered more reliable than Microsoft's operating system. Sun is also the market leader in setting up systems for Internet companies.
