1992 SCO Follies: The Archaeological Dig (480p)
Recorded live the Coconut Grove in Santa Cruz, CA on Saturday, May 2, 1992.
The year is 2100 and the world has only recently recovered from a catastrophic era known as "The Corporate Wars." Drs. Dave Loman and Jane Greenleaf are recovering artifacts from the original SCO site in New Santa Cruz. The archaeologists are working under the supervision of an overbearing AI known as the NED 9.0.1 Project Management System, and Michelle Michels, descendant of the founders of SCO. With a little hacking, a kinder, wackier NED makes for a much less stressful work environment.
QUOTE: "Well, you quickly get used to the fact that he's a machine.
NED can be overbearing at times, but then he's programmed that
way to make us uncomfortable. We think of him as just another
manager."
From 1985-2001, the Santa Cruz Operation hosted a Solstice party featuring a live musical show known as "The SCO Follies." This was fully scripted and produced satire skewering SCO management and the high-tech industry in general. It featured live action, musical numbers and videos. Planning for each show began in November of the previous year, with writing and production continuing into March for an April show date.
