I'll let someone else speak to the high points. The low point was absolutely a presentation of a non-Apollo non-Domain box called the 700. This is a fine box, but it is not Domain and therefore should not have been presented at the ADUS (Apollo Domain User Society) meeting. They touted a fantastic price/performance ratio. However, to Apollo Users the price/performance is infinity. Another low was the announcement by HP of a proposal to nodelock the OS! I sure hope they abandoned that one after the sparks that flew. -- Dick Harrigill, an independent voice from: Boeing Commercial Airplanes M/S 9R-49 PO BOX 3707 Renton Avionics/Flight Systems Seattle, WA 91824 Computing Support (206) 393-9539 rfh3273@galileo.rtn.ca.boeing.com
