Barry, >You mean to tell me that by analyzing and taking apart the Forbes article you guys were able to conclusively determine the cause of the glitch that all those Sun engineers couldn't find after all these monmths? No, in that article it was pointed out that the problem all along has been Alpha particles, Gamma rays, or the like. We just posted that IBM and HP put ECC (Error Checking and Correction) in big Sun-like machines to take care of the problem, if it occurred, and Intel servers have the fix built in also (just later than IBM and HP did it). We aren't quite that smart (close, though). ;-) Sun's fix is going into the USIII based machines next year. They're leaving the USIIs the way they are. I say mak'em recall all of them! Tony
