When I talked to next about fault tolerance in their systems,
meaning I was interested in redundant disk drive and down
time they said "Why you asking?".  Finally I was told that RDD
was not supported and would not be in the near future.

I too would like to know if anyone is interested in these
topics and have discussed it with NeXT/3rd parties and
what was said.  Again, NeXT gave me the feeling (about
8 months ago) that they didn't care.  I wonder if this
has changed any since they are focusing in MCCA and
this is a prime location for such issues.
