Thanks for the link... I'd rather read about the real thing, than listen to some geeks do a comedy routine.

megahertz and number of cpus sell

On: Cheap PPC Linux Machines From IBM

If a top tier manufacturer mentions that they are going to offer more cpus at the same price as the older systems, this should really get an IT manager excited. Up the megahertz and mention that it's a new design... and it should sell even more. Who really cares where the 4way numbers (SPECfp_rate2000,SPECint_rate2000) come in at... IT managers just need one database benchmark quoted, and they're ready to buy. IBM marketing finally woke up. Intel has been doing that for 4 years now...

Amen. Why doesn't SGI just become a software company. Focus on what you're good at... didn't Pixar completely make the switch to x86.

Re:japanese web site link

On: Collapsible LCD Screens

You're probably right... I guess that it would be similar to the Visym, being portable. I didn't read in the english press release that the screen itself would fold. It also looks that the product name comes from the mitsubishi line (LCD156X and LCD176X).

do you want an opinion or a link?

If you want an opinion... it doesn't look like what I expected. If you want a link (like the guy asked for) here it is: http://www.nmv.co.jp/nmvisual/hardware/index.html

http://www.nmv.co.jp/nmvisual/hardware/index.html It looks like the base and cord are detachable. Japanese products usually first come out in Japan. That's a good place to start...
