Dear Charles and all: I am not impressed with the supercomputer from a business viewpoint (and I do own CPQ as well as SUNW so this isnt sour grapes talk). The truth of the matter is that I do not believe it possible to get any kind of reasonable profit upon the manufacture of same. These, as you all well know, are very special computers requiring a considerable amount of time, effort and money to assemble and fine tune. Yet, for the most part they are government related and generally limited to a very small profit margin to begin with. I have heard there is a market worldwide for maybe as many as 100 such computers dont see how you can spread the overhead costs over such a little market. JDN
