I am sad to say that I was referring to closing the gap between a PC (1 monitor) and a Mac with God knows how many they can have. I personally would have liked to see the capability earlier. The Best I can do is a serial terminal at 19200 (it's limit, not the machine). At least when demonstrating you can show that it is two user if not multi-user. (ps -au, damn, how could one person run so much! [not talking about root.]) ... But I can't afford two monitors anyway :-) And I sure as hell don't want to run Win-95/NT/98/etc. I will run 3.11, but that is only because I happen to like it. I run DOS once and a while too. But hey, who ever said a sane person could be a un*x junkie. Since this *is* chat, I thought I'd reflect on what I think is going to become of Rhapsody: It will be a UN*X smash. Running on low-priced hardware (compared to a SGI or Slowlaris box), equipped with (personal opinion) one of the most stable kernels on the planet... And with PowerPC speeds, the RISC processor (Hmm, doesn't SGI use those?). I think it is taking advantage of superior technology. But that is my personal (obviously unhumble) opinion.
