JDN, what interests me is how mundane Sun's memory-module problem seems to be. From what I know, all this problem does is cause a reboot of the server. No data is lost, and tasks that were interrupted are simply restarted once the server is available again (if those tasks weren't already handed off to another server). Sure, that server will be down for several minutes due to reboot, but usually enterprises will have a cluster of those servers available. One of those servers rebooting isn't going to be fatal to the enterprise's computing system. That really makes me bite my nails over Itanium. If the press is willing to blow Sun's mundane problem out of proportion, think how nasty those hounds will be if deployed Itanium servers run into a problem of the same magnitude. Tenchusatsu
