  23. Apparently the hundreds of lines of marketeers' language did its job. They
  24. have fooled you.
  25. Actually, they say they are *developing* such a system. They didn't say
  26. they *have built* it yet. Scheduled for later this year, but they
  27. don't say whether that is the 300-GFLOPS system or a smaller one.
