- That is indeed a good point and for those Berkley people reading I intend
- no slurr on your facility. However in my experience with people doing this
- sort of thing they usually are either a user of the system they are abusing
- or they have used the system in the past.
-
- Anyway for those who missed it, one of the advantages of having slightly
- brain dead news software :-), the posting was one about a supposed ARM2as
- (whatever that is meant to mean) with VIDC20 & IOC2 on one chunk of silicon.
- This aleged device was supposedely called lousie or something like that.
- Totally unsubstantiated and a rumor that is almost certainly best kept in
- the circular file...
