Re: New puter ...

["John Burwell" <John Burwell@debian.novare.net>]

I am aware of the Pentium II, but am trying to get away cheap.  Just 
b/c Intel is putting the PPro out to pastor doesn't make it a bad 
chip.  I do a lot of processing intesnive tasks .. namely graphics 
programming under Windows NT in OpenGL.  I am using DCOM to 
distribute rendering processes over a network ....  I am dabbling in 
Linux to learn as much as I can abt Unix to hopefully port my work 
over to Linux or Solaris when my project gets further along.

Also, the Pentium II is still not availible in quantity ... Early 
pricing for a 233 is abt 1200-1400, and that is enough for a Dual 
PPro 180 ... which I suspect would outperform the PII ...

Oh well, thanx for you advice.  Unfortunately, this is the absolute 
worst time to replace a puter ... right between techonologies ...


Thanks.  See ya round.
