Lo and behold, Julian Elischer once said: > do we have a strong-arm version of FreeBSD coming up? :-) DEC ported NetBSD to run on their old StrongARM computer, the shark. They've discontinued that one, however, and it looks like they're turning linux-ward. -Dave > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > Date: Mon, 18 May 1998 11:45:04 -0700 > From: Anne Urban <agu@alumni.cse.ucsc.edu> > To: colen@San-Jose.ate.slb.com, decker@alumni.caltech.edu, > joeld@engr.sgi.com, julian@whistle.com, ktl@hyperparallel.com, > markv@pixar.com, nitzberg@netcom.com > Subject: talk > > >From owner-colloq-local-list@lists.Stanford.EDU Fri May 15 20:35 PDT 1998 > Date: Fri, 15 May 1998 18:43:53 -0700 (PDT) > From: Andreas Paepcke <paepcke@cs.stanford.edu> > To: colloq@cs.stanford.edu > Subject: Talk: Itsy: An Open Platform for Pocket Computing > > > On Wednesday, May 20, 1998, we will host a talk by Dr. Deborah Wallach of > DEC WRL.
