Hmmm... does anyone know if Seymour Cray, the inventor of RISC, is on the net? Has the good Mr. Cray commented on this IBM silliness? I wonder what he has to say...? The articles I have seen site 1974 patent applications... (for those who don't know, Seymour Cray was designing RISC machines in the early to mid 60's, they were called CDC-6600's... I am not sure if he called them RISC machines, but thats what they were [and still are].) DHMS ....looks like the justice dept. broke up the wrong monopoly... no :-). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- David HM Spector New York University Senior Systems Programmer Graduate School of Business Arpa: SPECTOR@GBA.NYU.EDU Academic Computing Center UUCP:...!{allegra,rocky,harvard}!cmcl2!spector 90 Trinity Place, Rm C-4 HamRadio: N2BCA MCIMail: DSpector New York, New York 10006 AppleLink: D1161 CompuServe: 71260,1410 (212) 285-6080 "What computer puts out work like this?"
