Vincent: Your posts #3789 and #3791 remind me of a passage in Gilder's Technology Report (Feb 97), and I quote: "Now addicted to the use of transistors to solve the problem of limited bandwidth, the computer industry must use transistors to exploit the opportunities of nearly unlimited bandwidth. When home- based machines are optimized for manipulating high resolution digital video at high speeds, they will necessarily command what are now called supercomputer powers. This wikll mean that the dominant computer technology will emerge first not in the office market but in the consumer market. The major challenge for the computer industry is to change its focus from a few hundred million offices already full of computer technology to a billion living rooms now nearly devoid of it." Of course Gilder was not talking about SGI, but sure sounded like it. Vincent, can you tell us more about all the goodies the SGI has in the pipe which will benefit us the unwashed. Thanks.
