You see, everybody complained and complained about how they had to make three
versions of all the hardware- 1000, 500, and 2000...  So now C= is going to
let them rot inside their old 2000's for a while.  When people are on their
knees and begging for a new hardware platform, than C= will come out with the
4500- complete with 64 bit bus... :-)
