Here's some riddles:

If an Itanium is outperformed by an Alpha, and the
Itanium workstation costs $9K and the Alpha
workstation costs $4K who is the fool that buys the
Itanium workstation?

OR an even more puzzling riddle:

If a quad-Willamette cranking 1.4 GHz pumps out more
tpmCs than a 800 MHz quad-Itanium (plus it runs IA32 much faster) who is the fool that buys the quad-Itanium to run SQL?

Itanium... all dressed up and no party to go to.
