Are there any Mac's (e.g. an 040-fx) even close to production? We are close to ordering IIfx's, but wouldn't mind a short wait for a CPU w/ ~double the speed potential (as long as price wasn't prohibitive); otherwise, should we buy an fx now, hoping an upgrade to an 040 is made available, and at a reasonable price?? --dennis bruggink [bruggink@ccc.nersc.gov or bruggink@vms.macc.wisc.edu]
