Jules, I just saw something on WSJ Interactive saying Sequent was having problems. Investors mustn't have read the article yet? Computer buyers must not be buying their computers either. I see that there will be 16 whole I/O paths. That is a small fraction of the channels on even a very small mainframe. Won't the new INTEL chips need to be able to run successfully with more than 2 processors in an MP configuration? It hasn't happened yet with any INTEL chip other than Pentium Pro which supports a "blazing" 4 way configuration of 200 MHZ processors. I can't imagine why the analysts haven't warned their institution's investors to bail out of IBM immediately. Wonder what operating system they will use. Windows doesn't scale well. I guess I missed the IBM AS/400 minicomputer disappearing. Scott
