Well now I enjoyed the posting very much!

	a) I appreciate having the information
	b) I like hearing it from people so close to the project
	c) The article was very readable as well as being worth reading.
	   There isn't much on USENET that you can say that about.

My only objection was that I got the announcement twice.

I despise Intel architectures and segments and groups and classes.  But
I still was very happy to send a note of congratulations and good luck
to the project manager.  It was kind of him to share a little of his
team's celebration with us!

Hey, we might be spending a lot of time writing for his damn chip.  It's
nice to hear about it from the horse's mouth, as early as we did.
