Excerpts of SGI news. techweb.com SGI has been on a heavy-duty VAR recruitment effort for the past few months. By the end of the year, it will increase its number of channel partners by approximately one-third to 2,000 worldwide, including 600 in the United States. Roughly half of the VARs will sell NT systems, with just 20 to 25 percent selling Unix workstations exclusively by the end of 1999, Arnesen says.

Walter, <<I remember (years ago) when Gary Marshall recovered a fumble and ran it the wrong way for a TD (for the other team)! >> I think you are referring to ol'#70, Jim Marshall, in the game against the 49ers (in Kezar Stadium in '64?). It's hard to imagine somebody his size playing defensive end (at least today). Carl Eller was the other end, of course. This was before Alan Page played tackle. Anybody remember what year Page joined the Vikings? Unlike football, coming in second place would still be OK in the FC switch league. Do we all get rings if Ancor becomes the #1 provider? Greg
