Robert GarnerVideo spoof on Star Trek produced for Sun Microsystems employees in 1988 right after it achieved $1 billion in revenue. Actors play the roles of Scott McNealy, Bernie Lacroute, Eric Schmidt, Bill Joy, and Ed Zander (with Scott himself miming his dual actor in an Enterprise elevator). After competitors Apollo, DEC, and IBM star ships mutually destroy each other, there's a scene with Sun's actual VPs portrayed as captured aliens in business suits. Video also includes Sun employees singing and dancing to James Browns' "I Got You" hit song.
