Call me a chearleader Kris, but I think we're at the cusp of a cycle where SGI will pull significantly ahead of it's competition again. It just takes time to seed the market and have it grow. I'm seeing it happen right now. The dynamics of the market are strange, in some ways everything's accelerating and in other ways it remains the same. Same cycles, just different levels of performance and functionality.

I've heard nothing but bad things about Merced and its scheduled debut. The same holds true for NT 5.0. Oh well, nobody's perfect, not even Billy!

[Kris hatfield on Merced delays]
impact on sgis anticipated entry into the nt world?

No impact. Simply since the expected SGI NT based product
[expected in 1998 according to SGI] is not using Merced
[not expected at least until the end of 1999 according
to Intel] as its CPU.
