Am I mistaken? Please diregard the above question. I just underwent my daily regimen of SOTRTFM (Slapping Oneself To RTFM) and checked the outstanding http://www.surfusa.com/ASUS.html site. Yes, of course it is possible to run 180 as 180 with 256 or 512 L2 cache, and, yes, of course I misread your post. Happy New Year to everyone! Oh, something off the subject: With the recent announcement of Apple going with OpenStep+MacOS, how many people are afraid it may be a serious threat to free unices? I must admit that a possibility of having a UNIX system (unless Apple manages to castrate OpenStep) that runs inexpensive Mac apps natively is incredibly appealing to me. t. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tony Porczyk * tporczyk@infobound.com * San Jose, California GIT/ED d++$(!d) s++:++ a?
