    I'm no IBM'er (and if you saw me, you'd probably bet I'll never be! :->),
but it isn't fair to make comments about the performance which OSF's AIX
will deliver.  It is "supposed" to be a significant rework of AIX.  Until
we have seen the actual OSF AIX, it just isn't fair to make comments about
its performance.

In case you hadn't noticed, these are *my* opinions, not HP's.
