    Yep, it's a really bitchin digital storage scope, so it's got a pc backend to handle the data work. I don't know how far he has gotten on interfacing the hardware.

    The probes on the thing are un-freaking believeable, really things of beauty, they each come with accessories in their own little leatherette case.

    How about Ted T'so? can you say ext2?
    maybe HJ Lu? Libc5, NFS, etc.
    there surely aren't 25 people working in the labs, but there are about 10. plus we've got 5+ people working on the merced port (direct kernel work)

    just a quick note...

  3. VA Linux now in Canada! by a.out · · Score: 2

    About a week ago I got the chance to speak with Jason A. Straw, Canadian Marketing Manager and his teckie, Zack.

    Both have come from Corel and have great backgrounds, Jason was a Marketing Manager for the Netwinder and I seem to recall that Zack helped port Strong Arm to the Netwinder as well? (correct me if I'm wrong)

    But the point is that VA is now in Canada and will soon be located in the Toronto area! They are taking the community seriously, They are listening to us.

    That's news for Canadain nerds, stuff that matters eh?
