I think the best thing is if they say SMP is the way to go, we're going to
provide them next year, so shut up and get with it now.

Then people would have a year to sink or swim.

Of course they'd never find a sponsor who'd contribute 24 duals, but the writing
was on the wall the moment Crafty showed up on an SMP machine on ICC.

If I actually get on the plane rather than tearing up my ticket, the version I
use will be my one and only version.  If you put it on an 8-way, it will use all
8 processors.  It will actually run on a lot more, if a lot more are available,
but I don't think there are any systems that support more.  If you put it on a
single, it will use one.  That's the way to do it.
