I wonder if there will be some kind of 4000BSD (like 386BSD) when ACE machines
will be available. I'd *love* to have a R4000 BSD port when these machines
come out in September. Anyone thinking about that, anyone working on a mips
port for BSD ? Or will 4.4bsd support mips architecture? Then I will be
in with $100 for a 4.4 CD-ROM !

Today I got an offer from Olivetti on their ACE machines (R4000 CPU, 16MB, 200 MB SCSI, Ethernet, 256 colors, CD-ROM drive, Ethernet, 17" Trinitron Monitor,
etc..etc..) as a special offer for Windows NT developers at an introductory
price of roughly $6,500.
