When will the flamewar ever end? Is x86 the magical trolling word around

would cause such a dicussion.
That said, does anyone happen to know when the "newest" produced VAX was
made? My best research indicates that HP continued cranking them out
until mid-2005, but that could be wrong...

Current Macs
share much more with PeeCees
than SGI IRISes and Sun SPARCs, so there is most likely a non-insignificant
amount of suboptimal hardware that eats processor cycles
Please give concrete examples of this "suboptimal hardware" you speculate
about, and give examples of how this is done better on SGI or Sun DESKTOP
CLASS Hardware.
