"I've got a Java Station in my office. It's got no hard disk, no floppy (drive), no CD-ROM (unit), no fan. No fan! It's really quiet. I'll never put another noisemaker in my office," he joked.

McNealy made his comments during a question-and-answer session with reporters. During his one-day stay in Venezuela, McNealy met with business partners and customers, a spokeswoman said. His trip to Caracas wraps up a week-long Latin America swing that also included stops in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and Buenos Aires, Argentina, where he inaugurated Argentina's first Authorized Center for Java Computing.

There are 10 Java Authorized Centers in Latin America for clients to get advice on using Java, the company said. Sun has six full-fledged subsidiaries in Latin America -- in Colombia, Argentina, Venezuela, Mexico, Brazil and Chile -- and 87 distributors and resellers throughout the region, the company said.
