Having seen pictures of the NeXT motherboard I am particularly bothered by the same "mistake" that Jobs et al. made with the Mac: no parity checking. With 16 meg of memory and my research or corporate financials in the machine, I would rather *know* about memory hard/soft problems than not know. Why would anyone trust a computer that uses the ostrich approach to fault tolerance? Is there any good answer for omitting parity checks on memory? -- David F.
