Hello Alphonse,

Interesting company ... interesting product ...

You forgot to add the quote:

"But the venture capital-funded Berkeley will have to overcome some
users' hesitancy to implement hybrid multifunction hardware. And the
company will have to convince network managers that NT won't create
reliability issues.

"They will have to work to educate people that it'll be a highly
reliable box, despite the fact that it's running NT," Passmore said.
"It sounds like they've solved the problem technically. Now it's
about resolving the perception problem." Pricing for the e8 starts
at $40,000; the e4 starts at $30,000. Both are due at the end of the
first quarter of 1998.

Officials declined to comment on unannounced products. "

Gosh ... I'll bet Cisco is the one who is worried! ;-)

Nothing like a router, that costs $30,000 and blue screens ...

... but it does come with Pinball, MineSweeper, Solitaire, and is fully compatible with the Microsoft Barney doll ...

;-)

(P.S. Hierarchical caching ... not routing ... will be the future.)
