Roger and I are having a frank debate about the announcement of the 32532. Have have NOT reduced it to the level of name calling. He is still on friendly enough terms to invite me to NSC to look at the demo. I in turn are on friendly enough terms to be willing to go. (Roger, I'll send you Email about the date) Heck, I even sent Max and Co. a batch of Rev A chocolate chip 532 cookies the other day! (sorry, the specs belong in rec.cooks, not here!) :-) To folks in general: No, these posting were not intended to tear down NSC or its chip set. I said it before, and I will say it again: ***THE 32000 IS A GOOD CHIP SET*** I do have a number questions and doubts about some of the claims. Perhaps you think support means blind praise of everything? I don't. chongo <> /\oo/\ -- [views above shouldn't be viewed as Amdahl views, or as views from Amdahl, or as Amdahl views views, or as views by Mr. Amdahl, or as views from his house]

I am willing to talk to any one most any time. Landon will be coming over to visit next week some time From my perspective, no one has as yet flamed me sufficiently to get me to the point that I just don't care. I accept the challenges as that ----- challenges. Landon ----- any cookies left? See ya next week. Poot

I thought it was all kind of interesting, I certainly know more about the 32532 than I did before. So what is the point of this thing anyway?
