What Craig Davidson is perfectly o.k. But his conclusion is wrong.
Obviously INTEL is the better company, has the better product, the better
marketing, the better service and the better support. I cannot argue about
the bad things he said about INMOS as we have a different distributor here.
But things seem to be very similar at this end of the world: prices and
support, availability and documentation - mail me for my personal remarks
(or better not).

So - if INMOS looses. I do not care. The idea of parallel processing has
not been invented by them. And it might be perfected by someone else!
