It's funny, Carl: every time you've posted on RISC before, I've made some 
piddling correction about the Celerity information.  Now that I'm no longer
a Celerity employee (despite the borrowed account), I'm gonna do it again!

Last week, it was announced that Floating Point Systems is in the process of
acquiring Celerity's assets and liabilities, and will continue the development
of the Celerity 6000, with the remaining engineering staff, as well as picking
up support if the installed base.  So yes, Celerity the totally independent
company is in the past tense, but Celerity the FPS subsidiary is not.
