Haynes) Newsgroups: net.research,net.unix Subject: Computer Recommendations and Powers of 2 Message-ID: <237@ecrhub.UUCP> Date: Sun, 30-Jun-85 14:47:49 EDT Article-I.D.: ecrhub.237 Posted: Sun Jun 30 14:47:49 1985 Date-Received: Tue, 2-Jul-85 03:42:15 EDT Organization: Emerald City Research, Toronto Lines: 33 The Problem: Which computer systems do people actually recommend for solving OFFICE SYSTEMS applications for the various powers of 2? ie: one user, 2 users, 4 users, up to about 128. Since these are office systems floating point is not as vital as straight I/O throughput and raw processing power. The Question: What do you people in netland recommend for each class of system (1, 2, 4, ..., 128)? Why? Why Ask? I'm trying to get a clear picture of people's selection criteria (ie: why this over that, why choose brand Y over brand X when brand X has more going for it.) This is for a long-term project, but if anyone is interested, I'll summarize all responses to the net. Responses: Mail to: utzoo!ecrhub!david, please.
