I don't think the XX in the add is the roman numeral for twenty. I think
it means that they'll tell you on Oct 14 what the actual value of XX is.

Who'd have guessed that a brand new SPARC would be faster than a 10

Looks like the fun is starting.just as expected. Just keep in

mind

that an

I think I'm going to enjoy this one. :-) IBM may decide there's

remember they have a box called AS/400 :-)
