Of course, you realize that Lycos is not allowed to make any public
statement without first allowing it to be edited by Microsoft
marketing and legal departments...and Lycos is not allowed to
object to any rewording, even if the bowdlerization comes out
meaning the exact opposite of the original statement.

You made the claim that NT machines can keep up Unix machines.
The best NT machines have, at best, 8 GB/sec bandwidth.
Hence, there are ZERO NT machines that can keep up with even
moderate Unix clusters.

I: "Having found not one single carbon monoxide leak on the entire
premises, it is my belief, and Willard concurs, that the reason
you folks feel listless and disoriented is simply because
you are lazy, stupid people"
J: Loren's Petrich's 2-week stubborn refusal to respond to the
challenge to describe even one philosophical difference
between himself and the communists demonstrates that, in fact,
Loren Petrich is a COMMUNIST ***hole
A: The wise man is mocked by fools.
B: "Jeem" Dutton is a fool of the pathological liar sort.
C: Jet plays the fool and spews out nonsense as a method of
sidetracking discussions which are headed in a direction
that she doesn't like.
D: Jet claims to have killfiled me.
E: Jet now follows me from newgroup to newsgroup
...despite (D) above.
F: Neither Jeem nor Jet are worthy of the time to compose a
response until their behavior improves.
G: Unit_4's "Kook hunt" reminds me of "Jimmy Baker's" harangues against
adultery while concurrently committing adultery with Tammy Hahn.
H: Knackos...you're a retard.
