I've noticed that well publicized predictions about computers almost never seem to come true. That might be because the people who make those predictions that get publicized don't know sh** from computers. Still, we'll all probably be better off if your prediction isn't widly publicized, the odds would be more with us then... Some day you'll probably look back at all the hours you spent putting this Beowulf system together & go something like "That's nothin', you know what we used to have to do?" Pete
