Justin,

I talked to the guys at work today and we may be getting an O2 soon.. (I like to play ;) )

You can get O2, Octane, Origin, Onyx, and Onyx2 memory from Kingston, and maybe others. Believe it or not, I think you can actually buy O2 and Octane memory @ Walmart, but I'm sure they'd have to order it ;)

You're joking right?????

There's assembly in almost every OS, for atomicity reasons. I was (and still am) under the impression that most of 3.x and lots of 92 were in assembly, though. I think (but I'm not sure) that most of Irix is in C++.

I realize that every OS has some ASM in it somewhere (in NT it is all confined to the HAL).. I was just curious about Irix.. one more question about Irix, btw. How big is a proper install of it now.. last I checked it was quiet large..

Steve
