Message-ID: Date: 11 Dec 90 23:26:06 GMT Sender: news@ut-emx.uucp Distribution: comp Lines: 17 Well, we finally got our first machine here at the UT math department. It is quite an improvement over the betas we saw. The parity memory feature is nice. I was able to steal 20MB from an unhappy SPARC person in pop it right in. What sucks is that we don't even have the C compiler. That seems to me to be important enough to go on the minimal machine. Does anyone have the extended release yet? Chris -- "Stab it and steer!"
