[rescue] SMP on intel wasteful?

Interesting perspective you have there.  From my view,
you wandered into a mailing list, stirred up the
denizens who've been there for years, made statements
based on your opinions, and then had issues when
people treated you like a troll.

Whatever.  I actually *agree* with much of what you
said--but the low-end Dell and IBM x86 systems that
I use for certain things at home are better built than
most x86 boxes and are IME still not as reliable as Sun
boxes of the same vintage...  

As Dave said (in several variations), Have A Nice Day.
I would have added, "and don't let that swinging door
hit you in the rear on the way out".  Now that you've
decided to stay, though, let's see if the next
discussion manages to avoid becoming a urinary festival.

I'm just glad that no one's head actually exploded when
you used Perl as a reason (apparently) why everyone needed\
an SMP x86 system available...

	than C in a year...)
