Well , if the speaker was from SGI that explains everything 8)
Oh, before someone from SGI or FreeBSD wants to say something
my girlfriend works there and I am familiar with their culture:
We are the *best* or my opinion is the *best one*.

At any rate, what we do have to do is to make our own presentation.
Right now, Linux's networking and mbone offering is poor and we
should exploit that to the max by way of giving a presentation
who knows evenat at Usenix.  For sure we can  depend on
the Linux crowd to take away credits where they are due to FreeBSD 8)

Well, if Intel or someone  increases the memory bandwith the P6 may 
be something. At any rate, I doubt that the P6 will cut into 
the high end 3d graphic market . It seems that the PC market
is dragging or dodging the 3d hardware market. The first deployment
of 3d graphic hardware should be barely okay. 

As for compile engines or something to put in an engineers desk to 
develop software Larry or whomever is right --- they better be afraid 8)
