Over the weekend I had call to think of THE NEXT buzzword.
In the begining, there was the Computer. Then came the MINI-computer [DEC],
and the first became the mainframe. Next came the SUPERcomputer.
When Convex introduced the mini-supercomputer. SCS had the term Crayette
introduced. After 4 hours of driving thru snow and rain it hit me the
next buzzword will be
mini-massive parallelism
or
massive mini-parallelism 8).
Just buzzwords, who said anything about making complete sense.
Send mail if you have a comment you want me to read. I am posting
here because it was suggested to me.
Another gross generalization from
--eugene miya, NASA Ames Research Center, eugene@aurora.arc.nasa.gov
resident cynic at the Rock of Ages Home for Retired Hackers:
"You trust the `reply' command with all those different mailers out there?"
"If my mail does not reach you, please accept my apology."

Do you expect anything but generalizations on the net?
