Capacity issues: No problem whatsoever. Background: MSFT bought into GMGC,
in part, in connection with a technology they are developing called "Wolfpack." My
guess is no one has ever heard of Wolfpack. Wolfpack (WP) clusters users of NT
servers so that they can ramp up to handle bandwidth problems. In essence,
Wolfpack eliminates any meltdowns or capacity problems.

Dwight,

Interesting article. But WP IMO is used for clustering NT servers; at the moment I think it is possible to cluster just 2 NT servers with failover safety. This is needed for scaling server power as more and more users are getting registered; not for increasing bandwidth.

Regards,

John

To all, Scrapps, etc: Hey, am I totally losing my mind or are we all just saying that OUR BABY, GMGC, does not possibly have yet another 10 point pop with even the tiniest serious interest from MOT, in ANY capacity. This reminds me of Cool Hand Luke, and what we have here is a problem in communication.

O.K. I'll make a deal. I won't mention MOT any more. But if I suddenly shift my IRA position in ULTRA to GMGC, well.....you might just imagine I've been calling MOT a lot.

:)

Now, can we all just get a bong?
