I see no defense here at all. You talk about how tried to boot something Bill gave you, which didn't work, then somebody told you that there was a better version coming in a few "*BSD* days", then you segue into a discussion of "Clustering." What does all this have to do with 0.2 coming out? With all due respect, I think you've been hanging out with Bill too long - you're starting to borrow from his debating technique! For the uninitiated, here's a short synopsis: Kid: "Hey, Bill! You're not wearing any clothes!" Bill: "Well you know, speaking of clothes, my new wardrobe is going to have some great stuff in it! Silk shirts from London, a couple of St. Laurent jackets, and my ties are being woven from gold! Pure gold!" Kid: "But, but - you're naked as a jaybird!" Bill: "Yeah, birds too! An entire line out bird outfits! Every contingency planned for! Little holes for their feet, wing flaps, special side-lights sewn into the cloth for flying at night (rambles on non-stop for twenty minutes on the intricacies and challenges of designing avian apparel).." Kid: "Sputter. BUT YOU'RE TOTALLY NUDE!" Bill: "Wanna see a magic trick? Look, I can make this coin COMPLETELY disappear! Wow, huh? How about some buzzwords? ``Virtual CPU'' How about that, huh? I just made it up and it's *already* in 0.2! You know the computer on `The Enterprise'? Well, let me tell you about .." Kid: "Oog.. (dies)." -- Jordan Hubbard jkh@violet.berkeley.edu, jkh@al.org, jkh@whisker.lotus.ie
