I don't think my hardware will be considered 'superfast' by the end of
Jan.  I plan on using my normal quad xeon/400 machine.  I didn't see any
reason to turn this into a violent arms race by trying to line up a 16-cpu
alpha machine.

I think we will see 1ghz machines (at least one) in this event, since they
are now available.  That kind of hardware will probably be a bit faster than
my quad xeon.  Bruce's machine is a quad 450, so he and I are close in terms
of hardware and we won't have a substantial advantage over everyone (over some,
probably, but not everyone).

It ought to be fun...
