I went to the DEC roadshow here in Tulsa where they trotted out the new PVAX and MIPS-based RISC workstations. I was prepared for a mildly interesting presentation and planned to maintain my cool when the regional sales manager, during his 'kickoff the meeting' schpiel, said: "In today's heterogenous computing environment, the network is the system..." Well, I *did* manage to maintain composure, but just barely. :-}

Then Sun trademarked it... art stine sr network engineer clarkson u
