the same can be said about sun hardware pete.  when at half.com (after bought
by ebay) we, and ebay suffered MANY machine crashes due to that US-II cache
thing.  sun's solution at the time was to send us a replacement CPU that wasn't
any more likely to work than the one we were replacing.  did that turn me off
to sun hardware?  hell no.  in my experience with SGI i haven't seen a single
fuck up, but i don't use SGI as much as i do Sun.  machines sometimes have
problems.  you can't let one isolated incendent turn you off to the whole
line.  that's a little unreasonable, no?

well, that wasn't nessesarily a bad move IMHO. ;)
