Like I'd really listen to someone who doesn't even have the balls to use his real email address or who can't spell RISC or CISC correctly. I also noyiced that you seem to be talking from your ass with no knowledge of what your saying. were you plastered when you replied to this or are you naturally this way? You know that Windows NT can run on computers using an Alpha CPU, which currently go up to 600Mhz and expected to break 800Mhz by next year. BTW, what does CISK mean?? em...@domain.com (Crkl) writes: > In article > <CE41C885D2E62C87.DD1C296F...@library-proxy.airnews.net>, > def...@DAVE.lancnews.infi.net wrote: > > Dammit!
