Ned, Damn, decided to take a nap and you posterized me with the news release! :) BTW, Qingdoa's sister city is Long Beach, CA. Found the following news item in the Guangzhou Daily Online. The way I read it, Qingdoa is ordering 130 machines with an IOU of 88 (probably trillion) Chinese Luane and plan to install them by the year 2000. Looks like the processors are Model 800's, or possible Model 500's. My Chinese is not real sharp but the story also seems to make a reference to F-you-something and ess-eee-see something or other. :) (reference lines 2,5,13 and 16) 1998 Oct 09 ÖйúÐÂÎÅ ÖйúµçÐÅÖÕÓÚÓöÉÏ'󾢵РÖÐÁªÍ¨ÊÖ»úÓû§³¬°ÙÍò ¡¡¡¡¾ÝлªÉç±±¾©10ÔÂ8ÈÕµç ÖйúÁªÍ¨¹«Ë¾¸ºÔðÈ˽ñÌì Ðû²¼£¬130Êý×ÖÒÆ¶¯µç»°ÍøÒÑÔÚ88¸ö³ÇÊн¨³É£¬ÓÐ61 ¸ö³Ç ÊпªÍ¨ÔËÓª£¬Óû§ÒÑÍ»ÆÆ100Íò»§¡£ ¡¡¡¡ÖйúÁªÍ¨¹«Ë¾ÊÇÎÒ¹úµÚ¶þ¼Ò¹ú¼Ò¹«ÖÚÊý×ÖÒÆ¶¯µç»°Íø£¬ 1995Äê7ÔÂÊ×'ÎÔÚ±±¾©¡¢ÉϺ£¡¢Ìì½ò¡¢¹ãÖÝ4³ÇÊпªÍ¨¡£Ëü µÄ³ÉÁ¢ÊÇÎÒ¹úµçÐÅÌåÖÆ¸Ä¸ïµÄÖØ'ó¾Ù'ëºÍÓÐÒæ³¢ÊÔ£¬'Ù½ø ÁËм¼ÊõµÄÓ¦Ó㬸ÄÉÆÁ˵çÐÅ·þÎñˮƽ£¬½µµÍÁË×Ê·Ñ¡£ÌØ ±ðÊÇÓÉÓÚÔÚÎÒ¹úͨÐÅÒµÒýÈ뾺Õù»úÖÆ£¬½áÊøÁ˶àÄêÀ'µÄ¶À ¼Ò¾ÓªÌåÖÆ£¬Ê¹Ïû·ÑÕßµÚÒ»'λñµÃÁ˵çÐÅ·þÎñÑ¡ÔñȨ¡£ÖÐ ¹úÁªÍ¨Ê×''µÄµÍ¹ñ̨¡¢¡°µÚÒ»·ÖÖÓ¸¶¿î£¬µÚ¶þ·ÖÖÓ¿ªÍ¨¡± µÈһϵÁÐȫеľӪ·þÎñ·½Ê½£¬ÐγÉÁËÏÊÃ÷µÄ·þÎñÌØÉ«¡£ ¡¡¡¡Õâλ¸ºÔðÈË˵£¬ÔÚ½ñºóÒ»¶Îʱ¼äÄÚ£¬ÖйúÁªÍ¨¹«Ë¾½« °ÑGSMÊý×ÖÒÆ¶¯µç»°Íø×÷Ϊ·¢Õ¹µÄÖØÖÐÖ®ÖØ¡£µ½2000 Ä꣬ ÖйúÁªÍ¨½«»ù±¾½¨³É¸²¸ÇÖé½Èý½ÇÖÞ¡¢³¤½Èý½ÇÖÞ¡¢»·²³ º£µØÇø¼°Ö÷Ҫʡ»á³ÇÊк;¼Ã·¢'ï³ÇÊеÄÒÆ¶¯µç»°Íø£¬×Ü ÈÝÁ¿½«'ïµ½800ÍòÃÅ£¬·¢Õ¹Óû§'ï500Íò»§¡£Óë'Ëͬʱ£¬ÖÐ ¹úÁªÍ¨»¹½«³ä·ÖÀûÓÃÌúµÀ¡¢µçÁ¦¡¢¾ü¶ÓµÈרÓÃÍøµÄ¸»ÓàÄÜ Á¦¼°µçÐÅºÍÆäËüÉç»á»ù'¡ÉèÊ©£¬Í¨¹ý×âÓᢺϽ¨¡¢²¿·ÖР½¨µÈ·½Ê½£¬½¨³ÉÖйúÁªÍ¨³¤Í¾Í¨ÐÅÍø¡£ÁªÍ¨Ñ°ºôÍøÒ²½«Á¦ Õù¿ªÍ¨µ½°üÀ¨Ïã¸ÛÔÚÄÚµÄ105¸ö³ÇÊУ¬ ²¢°ÑÊý¾ÝͨÐÅ×÷Ϊ ÏÂÒ»¸öÔö³¤µã»ý¼«¸ú×Ù¡£ Thanks for the heads up, Ned.
