I haven't got Henry's posting here yet, but I'll just note that UNIX has been running on long word length machines like Crays for many years. Why are there suddenly a bunch of ads? Because there's suddenly market demand for these sorts of systems at the low end. There wasn't before. Where did this demand come from? I'd say, the availability of cheap (relatively) and reliable 9GB SCSI drives, and the joint Oracle and Digital Equipment anouncement of their high-peformance large-address space database servers. -- Peter da Silva (NIC: PJD2) `-_-' 1601 Industrial Boulevard Bailey Network Management 'U` Sugar Land, TX 77487-5013 +1 713 274 5180 "Har du kramat din varg idag?"
