I try to leave, and I get these mail notes: "Hey come back there's an
interesting discussion on..."

Paul Rodman makes some good points.  I was in the audience video taping
Eugene (does news echo?) at SC'89.  Many of us could have easily shot
him down (memory as a good example), but I think he serves as a good
battering ram to the concept of centralized computer centers.
Oh I may happen to work for one, but we are quite decentralized, we
emphasize workstations.

I think Eugene's words should be used as a banner to strike fear into
the hearts of old dinosaurs everywhere.  That is how you go about
getting solutions.  Doug Pase and I were reviewing the footage I shot
and Brooks is great, he brought some fun and thinking into what could
have been a somewhat stuffy conference.  Some supercomputer people
tend to be that way (too much money).

These managers do not see that our electronics all comes from the
same basic technology, so it might as well be as small as possible 8)
[Yes I know], no the technical point is that we need the next level
of integration.  The solution does not come by continuing to stuff
ever more into the same boxes, the economies do not scale linearly
(but their management thinking does).  Anyways, it was fun reviewing
the tape.  He should have given the Usenet (you guys who posted like Hugh)
some credit. 8)
