I don't have strong feelings about any particular architecture, but I do think we all have a compelling interest that the number of common, commercially available hardware architectures be greater than one. In fact, I think three would be better than two, so if IBM can reignite interest in the Power architecture, then good. -- Curtis Pew (c....@its.utexas.edu) ITS Systems Core The University of Texas at Austin ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
