Gordon, Re: "I was listening to Torvalds key note speech last night on the web and the one thing that intrigued me was when he
mentioned what was going on at Transmeta."

There seems to be some excitement over Transmeta because Paul Allen and Torvalds are behind the company. Question: is either of them designing the new chip (assuming there is one, I'm not up on this one yet, guess I'd better take a looksee)?

He said something about they are working on "smart microprocessors",

I thought all microprocessors were "smart."

Gordon - Re: 'He said something about they are working on "smart microprocessors", it's a big secret, and they are going to make an announcement as to what they are up to Jan 19th. Any comments as to what's up at Transmeta. "

Linus will reveal that the Pentium III and Athlon - and their predecessors- were all DUMB microprocessors.

Paul
