Cornell, Far above Cayuga's Waters, right? Maybe you could have had a tug of war across it to see who'd get dumped, the Mac or the Wintel bigots. What's Merced supposed to dissipate on 0.18 micron, anyway? You know that all of IBM's newest S390s are liquid cooled, right? Big Iron, or Big Silicon (TM Paul E.) tolerates exotic cooling methods to get the utmost performance. Of course, you'd rather not if you don't have to, i.e., go liquid. The server end of Intel's business is getting more and more up my alley. Getting stoked here. Tony

byte.com In this article - Manufacturing At Root Of 'Microprocessor Flu' Set-Top Boxes: Nat Semi's To Lose - May 17th, 1999 - was this: When I interviewed Steve Tobak, vice-president of corporate marketing for National, he said the set-top box market was, from National's perspective, "ours to lose." The field may be bigger than he thinks. Executives at Via Technologies, a maker of PC core logic chip sets, have already expressed interest in bolting on a microprocessor core to their core logic. And if I heard National chief Brian Halla correctly on a conference call, Intel's "Timba" integrated chip will appear sometime next year. Anyone know what Timba is? Paul? I don't recall hearing that moniker before this. Barry
