John - Re: "This article in Forbes indicates problems with Merced. This seems contrary to latest posts on this board. What is your take on this article?"

Basically, the article is a HATCHET job - and completely out of date.

MERCED WORKS - PERIOD.

It was late - so what - all of Merced's competitors ARE or WERE late.

And MERCED's competitors - Alpha is a comercial FAILURE and UltraSParc III - due in mid 1998 - won't even ship until LATE THIS YEAR - over 1 1/2 years LATE !.

HP is touting their upcoming NEW PA-RISC chips - now all they have to do is DESIGN THEM !

That puts Merced in excellent shape.

My guess is that Merced will be a runaway hit - technically and financially, although Merced's successors will probably produce the bulk of the financial success.
