	Great blurb on the 32k, why'd you leave us big endder's out tho?
	32032's power two different parallel processing powerhouses:

	Encore Mutimax series
	Sequent  (I think)

	Wonder why the 32k was chosen to be the base unit in multi processor
	computer's? Probably because the other's couldn't handle the job!

	This message is comming to you from an Encore Multimax. 8 CPU's
	functioning as one fast one. 4.2 BSD, networking, and a whole lot
	more. Encore and Sequent show the awsome power that can be unleashed
	from just a 32032. The mind reels at the thought of 32532's in place
	of 32032's!! Sorry if this sounds like a plug for you know who but
	their machine is great in the bang/buck catagory although your 
	average Joe on the street can't buy one.

	Don't rule out us bigger 32k systems, we can come up with alot of
	idea's too!!!

	Any of you Encore people care to comment on 32k flag waving (yeaaaa!!)
