now now, I read the Digital News rag which says the 9000 is a air cooled
outcropping of the aquarius and aridius machine, for whatever that's worth,
and sport a 500-800 MB/sec system bus and 100MB/sec XMI i/o bus, and be about
30 VUP's.

of course you can;t buy one at a kmart near you yet, so I suppose it still
is vaporware.

So whatever happened to that wafervax that I read about on april1? ;-)
