- Dave is being a bit harsh.
-
- Based on public talks given by SGI reps. Expect boxes to ship
- sometime in early 1Q/2Q '93. Expect to see boxes that can support
- a modest number of processors, pick a small power of two. :-)
- If you follow the market carefully and watch SGI closely,
- this seems quite reasonable.
-
- I hesitate because I'm about to sign a non-disclosure that will give
- me more precise details. At that stage, my mouth becomes sealed.
