Trying to head out the door, but wanted to reply to this. Thanks so much, this is all I really ask. If it is possible to do something, I'd like to work together and do that. Blastwave is certainly one of the main components in our community, and I think it's worth investigating how this can all come to surface, if possible. Phil, are you going to Tech Day at USC? I think it's like May 4th. Some of my team will be there, but I won't, I'll be going to Seattle on May 2nd. James Liu and Vicki Abe will be down there, I think you might know Vicki. -- Alan DuBoff - Sun Microsystems Solaris x86 Engineering
