From George Michael:
	There is a fixation on CPUs in this country sort of like a teat
	[female breast].  We have to stop that.  We have to have more
	balanced SYSTEMS.

I would not quite use George's gender-biased language.

	You would.

I would say we are infatuated, or have a fetish on CPUs, and I/O will
continue to be a problem.  So what is industry going to do about it?
The problem, George, is that you scientists want an infinite quantity of
storage, in a finite media, peta-bytes and peta-bytes, and you want it all,
NOW!

	You are right.

Well, I don't see how you are going to get it (infinite).

	To the PAX people:
	We tend to use the term "peak" as well, but "Olympic" is
	some new colorful language, we've not heard, but since you
	broadcast, I think you have added it to the vinacular.
