How many dual CPU machines have you owned? EISA? I am on my third dual CPU machine. You replies to others indicating that you believed their words about Windows being a GUI over top of DOS proves you don't know what you claim you do.

I'd bet that the same folks that were in on the 432 were involved in the N10. It had the same sorts of problems with never being able to produce the performance the paper said it had. The N10's pipeline puking may have led the coding clerks at Microsoft not to worry about the interrupt times. If the CPU burns 20 minutes per interrupt, there wouldn't be much point. -- -- kensmith(a)rahul.net forging knowledge

Vice-chancellors heads should roll. Big Bertha Thing ME There is no test for ME, no diagnosis. It is just a process of elimination. So a doctor, who does not believe Is just as right as one who does. Where does this leave the hot and tired, Pole-axed, without a leg to stand on victim? The incidental pain of disbelief Is compounded by the length of the chain. Each link forged by an unshakeable lack. Cigarettes were once not linked to cancer. CJD was not linked to mad cows. Crack nicotine cigarettes not branded by makers. Pity the child taken into care for being ill. A taxi used less and less cannot be justified. Cancel a taxi because there are no medical grounds. Attendance at school is purely subjective, It depends on how the child feels getting up. A medical note can improve exam marks. DHSS guidelines believe in ME, at last! Complex numbers can solve all the roots of polynomials to N powers. Collapse numbers can count all the polka dots on any polygon exactly. Tony Lance judemarie(a)bigberthathing.co.uk |
