I'm in the OS business. The fact : "You're in the benchmark business" is a figure of speech. You got into this business : when you presented your claims. Bzzt. I present numbers. People have attributed claims to me. My response is: look at the numbers, because "numbers talk, and bullshit walks". It doesn't matter if it is my bullshit or your bullshit, just look at the numbers and ignore the BS. My opinion doesn't matter. The numbers matter. -- --- Larry McVoy lm@sgi.com http://reality.sgi.com/lm (415) 933-1804
