Dear JC: pigeon talk

processor P III, Pigeon;
P III = Pigeon;
if (P III = Pigeon) {
printf("SUNW's got the lead on this pigeon--poof!");
}
Itanium = Pigeon;


Yup, Pentium III is a Pigeon; the coding says so. Itanium
is undefined (untyped); ain't out yet.

Ultra Sparc III out in three weeks

I found this interesting:

biz.yahoo.com

"`The conversation about servers has moved beyond raw compute power to flexible pricing models, support offerings that keep businesses up and running, and the ability to embrace new technologies,'' said Ann Livermore, president of HP's Business Customer Organization."

Does that mean they'll give you one for free, and just as soon as they buy PWC, you can have consulting with it, too? Or does it just mean they've given up on trying to be top dog in performance? <g>

JMHO.
