The rumors were pretty thick about this last year. The MIPS chip is a worthy one, but I would think it will be rather expensive. Anyone know what the R6000 set goes for now? The MIPS workstation version of this costs around $150,000 I think. The HP chip, I don't really know much about. Maybe someone out there could comment on that. Anybody heard what is going to happen at NeXT this fall? They still don't have NeXTdimension working. Maybe they'll roll it out *again*. -Bill -- EMail: smithw@hamblin.math.byu.edu or uunet!hamblin.math.byu.edu!smithw SMail: Math Dept. -- 314 TMCB; BYU; Provo, UT 84602 (USA) NeXTmail: smithw@mathnx.math.byu.edu Phone: +1 801 378 2061 FAX: +1 801 378 2800
