It's Tuesday-- conmtrary to my previous comments they opened Uniforum (and the Informart) on time-- getting the occupancy permit for the building at about 10PM the evening before a Noon opening. The building, though still not completely done, looks gorgeous. The trade show looks quite impressive, a lot of good proucts and people are here. So far, so good. Usenix opens tomorrow, so the hackers will all run off and leave the marketing people alone. A lot of marketing people are probably looking forward to this, too. The biggest event of the day (that I noticed) was that Sun announced their distributed file system setup. Looks impressive, and will be put mostly in the public domain, both technical specs and code. A defacto (and impressive) standard-- users with networking who are looking for a distributed environment should look at it closely. the second biggest event was the fact that it hit 40 degrees here. Dallas is STILL cold... more later, from dallas... chuq -- From the ministry of silly talks: Chuq Von Rospach {allegra,cbosgd,hplabs,ihnp4,seismo}!nsc!chuqui nsc!chuqui@decwrl.ARPA National Semiconductor does not require useless disclaimers on posted material that is obviously not posted by company spokesmen...
