Oh *nice*... we have an 18-node SP-1 system which are due for a $20 million upgrade this year (sit down, folks, that's New Taiwan $, less than a million US$). Just for fun, we worked out that the same amount of money would buy almost 300 100-MHz Pentium number crunchers (no graphics, no disk, FDDI, 16 megs). All running FreeBSD of course. ;-) Too bad the department didn't go for it. ;-( -- Brian ("Though this be madness, yet there is method in't") Tao taob@gate.sinica.edu.tw <-- work ........ play --> taob@io.org
